I like Ruger revolvers for their toughness. Saw an idiot shoot a bunch of double loads through his Ruger Alaskan. Think it was a Cassull. He also hammered a bunch of squibs out of the barrel. A Colt or Smith would have lost the topstrap & cylinder. The shooter would have found them in his skull.
I have a GP 100 in .44 Special & a Match Champion in .357 Mag. Like them both. Did buy a Smith 617 to try the trigger out. Didn’t figure .22 lr would shred the topstrap. Seen a ton of peeled revolvers in pics, but no Rugers.
