Hi Mykey,

I second Danny45's comments. Other than the fact that Ruger's autos look somewhat clunky....they tend to be very reliable and durable. As to the price....I'd suggest you look around your area and see what they are selling for both new and used. That is the only way to determine it's value in your particular area.

Fortunately for me....Ruger autos normally sell for somewhat "discount" prices in my area. Mostly because names like Glocks, Sigs, Kimbers, etc...get all the attention...and "top dollar". And that suits me just fine. As much as I like some of the other manufacturers as well....I also own and shoot Rugers....and got them for considerably less.

Good luck!
