I' d agree that Ruger handguns are very strongly built. And as a matter of fact today Ruger is the only single action revolver I' d buy. Their SAs are truly the best there is. I' ve never been a Ruger fan but will agree to compliment them on SA revolvers. I' ve never used their DA wheel guns so can' t comment there. I have used Smith & Wesson and have been very impressed with them. Like most of the American public, I boycotted the former management of S&W for obvious reasons and it bought them down.

The new (American) management don' t have to prove anything to me.....All the firearms companys know the attitude of the American arms buyers...the former S&W management proved that well. It' s time we gave a very old and trusted company a break...they have new management and are on solid ground in my book.....at least until they prove they' re not worthy, and they haven' t so far.
