I have always considered Ruger's "blue collar" firearms. Over built, reliable, sturdy, good value, etc., are the terms often associated with the brand. That is what has always drawn me to their products over the years.
I still have:
- Ruger Old Army that was one of the first ones made
- Mk II that dates back to the late 1970's
- A 10/22 that I bought from a pawn shop in the late 60's
- A GP-100 that is 20 years and 10k rounds old
Current Ruger offerings still follow that "working class" dictum. My LCR is a great little trail gun. Light, rugged and essentially weatherproof. My SR9 is my favorite 9mm (albeit it got recalled twice: barrel peening and trigger) because it comfortable and trouble free.
When things settle down a bit, my short list includes a SP101 in .22LR and a SR1911.
When I think back I realize I have never sold a Ruger. I gave my P95 to my son and a 10/22 to my daughter. They will get the rest of them as well.
