Hostile takeover of Sturm Ruger by Beretta?

There is only one 'King' of Double Action revolvers. This is of course my opinon (that happens to be shared by many). They are making them once again, but they are not hand fitted like they once were. This is one of my Grail Guns. Dunno if I'll ever own one, but have wanted for a long time.

 

I think if you ever shot one of these you would be pleasantly surprised:

I ended up with a 686+ as my wheel gun. Inspired by Harry Calahan's 'lucky' speech...mine holds 7.

 

I want to lay hands to Jerry Miculek's *personal pistols. Gotta be paradigm shifting.

 

Hate to see all this Wall Street kerfuffle with an esteemed company. Highly recommend the book " Ruger and His Guns: A History of The Man, the Company, and Their Firearms" by RI Wilson. It is expensive due to 300+ pictures-but hey, Christmas is coming.

Yep, seems kinda crazy to be discontinuing some models that Ruger has been known for. Not long ago I bought two LCRx handguns, 22 & 22 mag, 3” barrel.

 

One of my cousins worked for several years at Ruger in NH; they had a very generous policy concerning employee discounts
