Rugers...PA-TOOEY...THEY ARE BUTT UGLY! They do NOT have the graceful lines of Smiths or Colts !! Well they DO have "one" advantage over the others...you run out of ammo..."THROW THE SUCKER" just hitting someone will break something! Ya can't put one in the front pocket (like a nice J frame)...the Ruger is so heavy you would prob.have to wear a belt "and" suspenders!As for COWBOY shooting...I guess they may be a little better than the ITALIAN COPIES!! OK,dant,FT,Tusk...I'm a heretic...& this is blasphamy...so disagree! :ymhug:
