I was at a gun shop Friday picking up a new gun that just arrived and there was a guy at the counter inquiring about a new semi auto handgun. Asking all kinds of questions about what kind to get, what's better Glock, Sig, HK, etc.? The guy behind the counter pipes up with "those are all junk, the best semi auto handguns made are Rugers" He also said "Rugers are the only handgun I'd trust my life to and said they are so popular he can't keep them in the store". The guy immediately started asking "how long would it take you to get me one?"

I own several of each in Glocks, Sigs, HK's, Brownings, S&W's, and one each of many other manufactures. The one Ruger and one Taurus I ever owned I sold very quickly as I didn't like them at all. Not that they were bad guns they just didn't feel like "quality" weapons to me.

I got a laugh out of the gun shop workers comments and your question brought it back to my mind.
