Gentlemen, if you are expecting a lot of trilling stories, I have to disappointed you. The Company doing well, direction they choose after Rugers is probably right, take a look at stocks, $20. today in comparison to $6,5. at time they close the Studio. My wife and I both carryng LCPs and love...

If you want a good MN, look for pre WW2 production, better with hex receiver. War time guns where made at the factories by kids under horrible conditions using a worn machinery and poor steel. It was accounted that the life expectancy of a riffle on the battlefield is not more that 300 rounds...
