That looks like a really nice carry piece.

I'm jealous :-)

Nice, I like the SW686 better myself.

Not bad.

I'm more of a .41 Mag fan myself, though.... :p

Well what is really nice about the Ruger brand is that they over build thier guns. They are thick. You can reload and make hot loads and not worry about the thing Kabooming on you. The down side is they are heavy. That is the only reason I carry a S&W for carry. Its all about the weight. Great gun though.

Very straight forward, I like :)

I have a Ruger Speed-Six and I love it. My father had some work done on it after he bought it and it has a very easy trigger pull. I do agree that the Rugers are a bit heavier tho.

Nice piece, its "carry in the small of your back" small .

Congrats on your new weapon. Have fun and be safe!

I had one. Honestly, it beat the hell outta me. Don't jump to conclusions. I grew up shooting full power .357 and .44 magnums. Just something about this gun wrecked my hand whenever I shot it. I think it was something about the grip in relation to the size of my hands (beefy). I think the web area edged up over the top of the grip and was getting battered by the back of the frame.

Other than that, the big issue I had with it was weight. It is a beefy gun, and the weight made it tougher to carry. Can't just toss it in a pocket holster and go.

Ruger does make great guns though. I'd love to get a GP-101 as a trail gun.

Rugers are great guns, their grips suck tho

My.....preciose...yessss......er, um. Sorry. That is a VERY pretty gun.
