Bud's is out of stock but appears to be getting a little less than $300 for them when they're available. That's not bad if expense is an issue. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! Ruger copied it without the kinks and they added a thumb safety and an obnoxious loaded chamber indicator. Some folks don't like those features. Ruger also copied Keltec's 380 and fixed the bugs in it as well. Ruger probably did that to make them legal in MA and CA. Overall, I like the Ruger handguns that I've tried. I also like their rifles. I don't go to the range as much as I did during the summer and am now looking at my modest armory and wondering why I have so many different types of firearms. Might pick a couple of favorites and get rid of the rest. |
I really like this gun.
