I have been a fan of the Ruger revolvers for a bit as well. Especially their Single Action Vaqueros. I have two of their New Vaqueros in Stainless steel and a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible in .45 Colt / .45 ACP. They have never had issues. I've had a couple of their SP101s, and a Ruger Redhawk. They just weren't for me, but I DO like their LCR revolvers. I've shot a number of the P85s and P97s in the past. The P97 was a good pistol. nice and reliable. You should keep an eye out on the used market for one. I bet they can be had for a good price. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I've always been a huge fan of Ruger revolvers and that always made me a fan of Ruger pistols, by osmosis, I guess. My brain is the semi-permeable membrane...  One of my favorite Ruger pistols was one that I should have kept--a P97DC (decock only) .45ACP. It was essentially part of the first generation, or second generation, depending on how you view them. From the original P95 came the P89, and the P97 was from that refined group. The P97 was completely reliable, ergonomic, and by simply swapping the original follower from a 1911 mag with a Wilson follower you had a 100% reliable P97 mag for the Ruger. And I have always liked the glass-filled nylon frames far better than typical polymer frames used today. Another thing I like about the Security-9.
