I shoot Ruger pistols now. They are not pretty or real smoot but I have about 15000 rounds through five Rugers in Three calibers. So far not a single malfunction with any of them. Hand loads, factory loads, wad cutter, fmj's or hollow points. I have had Sigs, Berettas, Taurus, Colt, S&W, Star, CZ's Auto Ords's Springfields, All the older Glocks, Brownings and HK's. For the most part when cleaned and cared for they all worked as I expected them to. However none of them does the job I need done better than the Ruger and the Ruger for the most part does it for a lot less of my hard earned money. As you can tell by this post, I like them all.
