Ruger autos are WAY under-rated

I've let a few creep into my stable
I have done alot of preaching againt the uglies of ruger for several years now I still have and like the 2 of the 3 I've owned.
Sold the p89 to buy a cz and never looked back. Just think of Rugers as the Blue Light special of handguns. They will meet the needs of most. Just don't look to close.
If I could only have a Ruger and no other I would get by.
I ROFLMAO About the sell it for $700 comment. Who would pay it?
They don't even use real steel It's like some puffy marshmallow metal. Hell for even $300 I can deal with plastic but I won't accept cast.
If Ruger took what they know and used it on real steel they could be a major player.
I would go out of my way to buy a ruger if it:
was made out of real steel
had a better triggers
had better sights
had a frame mounted safety
cocked and locked
still used cheap mags
had better ergonomics
was narrower in slide and frame
had better accuracy
Oh wait a minute I just described a CZ75

It wasn't that long ago people were saying "who would use a plastic gun." Or, The M-16 is unreliable and will never last as a viable weapon. Stranger things have happened. I never said the gun would be worth $700, but, people would pay it. People do strange things.

I must be one of the few but I think Ruger semi-auto centerfires are a very good looking gun . . . and they fit my hands quite well. I've only owned a P97DC but I was extremely happy with it.
IMHO, Rugers are the best deal for the money, period.

You won't hear me gripe about my P-90. Great gun.
Actually, that's a whole 'nother can of worms.
I don't actually feel any gun out there, (long or short) is worth $700 or more, but people pay it.
Since that is the price of some guns I have wanted, I have paid it. But, were they actually worth it?
Ruger, Glock, Sig, H&K,...... the value of any of these guns is in the eye of the beholder.
I certainly consider a Ruger handgun to a better value at $350, than a H&K at $700, but others may have different values than I do.

I have a P85. It is kinda chunky, ugly, and has a wicked trigger pull, but it is utterly reliable, and came from the factory with 15 rd magazines. 
I agree that they are underrated.
I too must be the exception to the rule on the looks part... I really like the looks of the Rugers ... at least the P93, P94, and P97. I do not care much for the P85/89, P90, P91, or p95.
The ergonomics are a bit better on the P93, P94, and P97 than the P85/89, P90, P91, P95 due to the use of curved as apposed to straight sided grips ("reversed palm swells" is the only way I can explain what I am trying to describe). This makes the P93, P94, and P97 a bit less 2X2-ish or brick-like. Still though, the CZs and the Sigs feel better in my hand. But I do not shoot the CZ or the Sig any better.
Ruger DA triggers: The Rugers I own or have owned have relatively long and heavy double action triggers much like the Beretta 92. But, in my experience, they are very smooth, some almost buttery smooth. Because they are smooth I have found them easier to keep on target throughout the trigger stroke than a CZ or Sig. I find them to be heavier than the CZ or Sig triggers but easier to keep on target since the CZ and Sig DA triggers seem to be stagy to me.
Ruger SA triggers: Are hit or miss. I have one that is better than any CZ I have tried and is almost as good as the best Sig that I have tried. But, in general, they tend to have a gritty glitch in them prior to reaching a point where there is a smooth break.
I owned a Sig P220 and the Ruger P97DC. I still have the P97 because I shoot it better than I did the P220.
