Default Rugers ?

I have 8 Rugers. My only problem is feeding them. It costs a lot to keep them happy at the line. Love em though.

Actually, I do believe it. I had a friend who owned one and it worked perfectly. That's why I bought one.

Thumbs up Sigma bashers mostly never fired one...

Most of you know me and Franne's EDC are 9mm S&W Sigmas. They have probably been bashed more than any weapon ever made. Mine has over 2500 and Franne's 1200 down the pipe. Only problem at about 1000 round count my striker broke. Looking at the break it was a well defined defect. S&W replaced at no cost, even paid shipping both ways and returned it in 8 days. Best part, the smith that did the work took a little off the stricker where it breaks from the sear and shortened the trigger pull enough to make it a lot better. 1500 more rounds without a malf. Franne has since replaced hers with mine. She is still deciding what "smaller" gun she wants, then I'll get mine back. In a SHTF deal I don't think anybody would ever be bothered by a long hard trigger.

I think the hard trigger, or some of the long pull Ruger triggers are beneficial on SD weapons. You don't want a 1-2 lb trigger for that. You might just touch one off when you don't want to.

I had one of those POS Jennings myself. Gave it to the ex so she could defend herself if necessary.

The Little Woman has a Jennings .22 that her dad gave her
Not my cup of tea but she likes to plink with it once in a while and it seems to function OK.
Rugers on the other hand are among my favorites.
I've got a few and plan on keeping them all,
