Ruger's revolvers are excellent but I do not care for their auto's. My opinion only; save up the extra few bucks and buy any of the higher quality auto's (everyone has opinions; S&W, Browning, Beretta, Glock, SIG, H&K, Walther). Although not a junk gun like Highpoint or Larson I still would not place the Ruger auto's in the same class with the brands mentioned above. Whatever you do enjoy it.
