Wonder how a lightweight would go over now that people have gotten used to aluminum and plastic firearms?

I find it interesting because there are otherwise-well-informed Rugerphreaks who are unaware of this bit of Ruger history. Don's article lays it all out quite nicely.

And I own a couple of them thar 'lightweights'... One exactly like the photo at the top of the piece! With Box.. With Manual.. (etc etc)

And it's always great to see Don's stuff getting published!

Don has the respect from all of us who've had the pleasure of meeting him. He's a gentleman & a serious Ruger collector. His writings are excellent.
PS; He also did a book!
