I'm not sure I would look to Ruger for semi auto handguns, either, other than the original .22. While Ruger makes some of my all-time favorite guns, they do not seem to do as well with these as with some others.

Ruger single actions are fantastic guns. Better than any Colt in every respect; well neigh indestructable. I currently own a 6" Single Six, a 4 5/8" Blackhawk in .45 Colt, and an Old Army cap'n'ball gun to carry while hunting muzzle loader seasons. Great guns one and all. All I really need now is a new Vaquero in the smaller frame size and I'll be all set.

As for rifles, I have a very soft spot for their Number One. Examples currently in the battery include a custom varmint rig with a 28" Lilja barrel in .220 Swift, a Light Sporter in .30-06, and a Tropical Rifle in .458 Winchester Magnum. Fantastic rifles one and all. Probably their best, and most unique, product.
