The Ruger Air Mag is at the bottom of the quality pile imo. Friends and I have tried them but not the best track record. You also need to crony test it or open it up to be sure the internal flaws aren't killing the power. Check the barrel for flaws and check for accuracy too. If all is well then great, but many people return them. They are also rather large guns which most magnums are, but it seems to me like the largest.
