Isn't there a pretty high traffic thread on the Ruger 10mm Super Redhawk going on right now? Two GP100 threads too...

...perhaps you will appreciate this Ruger.I had these grips made after a particularly difficult chore of putting down my nephew's horse while he was serving in Iraq with the USMC.

Yeah there is I guess I meant more of people showing off their rugers I think while Smith was the everymans revolver before ruger is that now (although even they are creeping up in price)

Showing a lot of single actions, which S&W doesn't make for comparison, and which relatively few people carry or use in competition, except the Cowboy game, wherein customized Vaqueros are so popular. I like my Rugers, but my luck was that most of the ones I bought new had to have the cylinders replaced right off. Owning the older Rugers was a problem, because Ruger doesn't support them. They don't even repair guns routinely. They immediately go to offering a replacement deal, which may be a return for repair in itself.

You had to replace cylinders right off the bat? That doesn't sound right, I've had ruger repair a couple of my own guns with fitment issues, but hey things happen.

Just guessing here, but when the 'original model' Vaqueros first came out there were some problems with some calibers with the chamber throat diameters not being sized correctly for the rifling groove diameter. I seem to recall some of the chamber throats were too tight.

Sorry, I only own one Ruger Double Action revolver and I don't love it.

It is a reality that others cannot dismiss, but I do not doubt that others may be luckier. It was pretty evenly split between DA and SA models, every one of them a cylinder issue. I dealt with Single Seven issues locally.

There's a Ruger or two in these parts. 
I can. I've been buying Rugers for decades. Not one, two or even ten but a total of 56 guns. Not only have I never experienced what you're talking about but in 15yrs on RugerForum and up to 20yrs other forums, I've never heard of it either.
That's inaccurate.

Sorry for your issues, but my involvement with Ruger has been quite favorable. They went above and beyond what I expected and the way they handled a situation that was indeed not their fault, is what makes/made me a Ruger customer whether new or used. The fact that the older, used Ruger market has shrunk by one person simply puts me one number forward in the line. Thank you for that.
Can't argue with your experience, but I certainly will make decisions based on mine.
Now, about those Rugers....

Now that's a whole lot of Ruger lovin' going on there! I really like the shortened 3 screw Super Blackhawk and the 3 screw Flattop Blackhawk! Definitely something about those grips on both of those guns that always catches my attention!

Huntsman, what can you tell me about the rear sight on your Blackhawk.

It’s called a one hole sight, and I can pick up the front sight quicker especially in low light
