Back on the Forum in NW Oregon

I must admit, this feels like home.

My first personally owned handgun was a Ruger Super Single Six Convertible with a 6.5" barrel which I was given for Christmas of 1966 by my parents just before I turned 15. I've been a 'Ruger guy' ever since. An old Marine sergeant with whom I worked in Arizona, and a real gunny, once stated (about Ruger products), "You can pay more, but you can't get any better". I own a LOT of guns of a lot of different makes, some major and some rather obscure, but I seem to keep going back to Ruger (I'm most likely going to add yet one more in the near future!).

Thanks, Ruger Forum for being there for us Ruger-philes !! (^_^)

Welcome from Michigan, and I couldn't agree with the Marine more. I have a few guns and my Rugers are my favorites.
