I'm thinking Ruger has hit another home run. I was at the shot show the year they brought out the LCP and rumor had it they took orders for a quarter million guns that few days. Face it, the Single Six nice gun that it is, keeps going up in price. Plus there's not rule that says you have to get rid of your Single Six to get a Wrangler. I won't get rid of mine. I'm going to get a couple of these. Face it even the Bear Cats are pushing $500. I think Ruger is responding to the soft market we are all dealing with. I'm really tired of hearing so many negatives when it comes to change.
Plastic auto good.
Aluminum revolver bad.
Doesn't make sense.
No brainer to buy one. They'll sell like crazy.
Ruger's waaaaay ahead of the pack right now as far as I'm concerned.
From the Ruger web site:
"Transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock provide an unparalleled measure of security against accidental discharge."
It sounds like the traditional Ruger single action safety measures, and just as strong as a Single Six.
Let's also face it, it's getting tougher to find a used Single Six for <$300. It would have to be pretty beat up to find one.
The less hands on experience people have with a gun in question the more they pontificate about it.
I think I'll get at least a couple. I'll have some to pass down to the grandkids if and when they come along.
I also think Ruger will be taking a hunk of Heritage market share, because people will go for the Ruger at a slightly higher price but at $500 or more, they will stick with the Heritage. I've bought a ton of Heritage guns as give aways at our DU Military night event. Never got a call to complain about them. I would have bought the Wranglers had they been available. As it was 100 of the 300 guns we gave away were Rugers. People appreciated that.
