Thx for the feedback, very interesting comments. I have not even held one but saw a post regarding the ruger for $559 w free shipping. The smith wesson sport was 539. Watched a few reviews and thought it might be fun to have one of these at the ranch. I almost ordered on for the 559$ but realized it is a florida distributor so w tax i was back to 600$ which is a fairly regular price so i havent purchased one yet, but think i will.
