Every one has opinions and all should be respected. I mean no offense toward Ruger auto owners out there. I have worked on a few Ruger auto's and with a recoil spring upgrade and polishing the feed ramp they have shown to be reliable. Ruger's seem to have an awful ammount of machining marks left on them, including the feed ramp, and I simply do not like the way they must be disassembled; just my opinion.
