I dont like their semi pistols but I'm a fan of the Mini 14. Rugers revolvers are the strongest and their rimfires and pretty great too.

The thing to remember about the "gun culture" is the fact that about 80% of "gun owners" can't walk by a particularly tasty looking window without stopping for a few licks.
Idiots abound. |

"no honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun" As usual, FPNI. For 10 years, I paid $100/each for standard capacity pistol magazines and $30 for NIW USGI AR mag's thanks in large part to Bill Ruger. Now that Bill Ruger has passed and the company seems to have seen the error of it's ways, I once again am willing to buy Ruger firearms (10/22's, looking at a GSR). |

So it's a second amendment thing? Not anything to do with the quality of their firearms? The reason I was wanting to know is because I've shot Rugers my whole life, my first .22 was a Ruger, and I've found them to be quality firearms. I've never had any problems with them.

I'm pretty sure the company survives off of the 10/22 and Mark I/II/III and some fooled Mini-15/30 owners. Their wheel guns are alright. Everything else is shit.

The thread today talking about how Ruger will no longer be selling to CA brought this to my attention again. Throughout the years I've seen a lot of shit talking here about Ruger's semi auto handguns and occasionally their rifles as well. I also listen to a radio show, Guns Over Texas, on Sundays and the hosts also talk shit about Ruger handguns from time to time. I've never heard anything specific just that they "suck". So what specifically sucks about them? Enlighten me. they hate them because; not glock. they are cheap. they are very reliable. my first handgun was a Ruger P94, still have it. great gun, accurate, extremely reliable. also own a redhawk .44mag, a SP101 .357 snubby and a 10/22. all great guns. |

Ruger tried to placate the gun grabbers during the time leading up to the 94 ban. Now he is dead and cold, the company is headed in a much better, different direction, and some folks will STILL cut off their nose to spite their face. Rugers are fine. But if you find something you like that they make, buy it. They do add and drop stuff frequently. Ruger Safari Magnums and Gold Label shotguns come to mind. |

Mostly snobbery. People look down on Rugers because they were always perceived as a budget oriented (yet functional) line. You chose a Ruger revolver because you couldn't afford a Colt or S&W. A 777 because you couldn't afford a 70 or 700, etc. |

I have had a number of Rugers. The quality of the manufacturing is usually very good. However, several years ago, Bill Ruger made a statement that said that he favors 10-round magazine limits. That hurt his business a LOT. Lots of people refuse to let that go, even though he's dead now. One point: the Mini-14 has always had accuracy issues. After 3-4 rounds, you're lucky to hit a pie plate at 100 yards. The barrel heats up and gets very whippy. |

Smith & Wesson had exactly jack motherfucking shit to do with the 94 ban and I don't know why people keep thinking they do. |

All the Ruger revolvers I've shot have been great in my opinion. Their rifles all have been of good quality that I've seen and shot too. The P series back in the day was extremely popular. I remember all the local law enforcement agencies carrying them except maybe the Sheriff's Dept. I even remember ever gun shop and pawn shop you walked in had some form of a P series pistol. What I don't remember seeing everywhere back then was Glock.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: "no honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun" and yet they make pistols with 15+ round cap and ar15s. They make "good enough" guns at prices that aren't much lower than guns that are plain good. I have no problem with Ruger firearms, but don't own any, because every time I have looked at one, I have found something I like better for the same price or only a small amount more. The only gun I bought that I kind of wish I had went with a Ruger instead was a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9, although after a couple of aftermarket springs were installed, and a little smoothing of trigger parts by a gunsmith the Sigma is pretty good (on the Sigma that makes it a POS, on the 10/22 that makes it versatile). |

It took Colt forever and a day to figure out that it would be much wiser to market their rifles to us lowly civilians, but you don't see arfcommers pissing and moaning about them as much as they do a dead guys stance on mag capacity. Seems to be a double standard, but to each their own.
