So said Remington when "The Freedom Group" (Cerberus Capital) started over-extending and over leveraging themselves, and the went tits-up and the assets were pilfered at pennies on the Dollar. At their peak FG had their dirty little fingers in fifteen companies when it went bankrupt.
I like both Beretta and Ruger, maybe they can build something indestructible the doesn't have the aesthetics of a Hy-Point.
The difference here is that “ The Freedom Group” was nothing more than an investment group. Beretta has skin in the game.
My contention warns of getting too big, too fast, and too out of touch...ten years ago if you told me Remington would be out of business I'd have laughed in your face...Even Vista Outdoors which is a major Roll-Up with dozens of big names is/has cut some loose.
My SR22 had to go back, too, because it blew the extractor claw right out of the slide. The store gave me a full refund, i didn`t want it back. Besides, i never liked the backwards safety on it anyways, so it all worked out, for me. I ended up getting a Ruger MKIII instead.
Many Ruger Pistols are not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but often work like Russian Trucks; the harder you beat it the better it likes it.
I learned that when I was 15.
gets a bit raw, but one more time!
M-77 with paddle stocks always grab bring in top dollar too.
I should have bought an MK series semi auto. I wanted a 22 that resembles my carry gun and the SR22 was what I chose. I chose poorly. I had a 50% or better failure rate on ejection and fire. It’s now around 10% or less. I do not like the gun. I keep it because my kids want it. I even bought a tandemcross spring and guide rod, but some of them didn’t even fit. I know people love the tandemcross stuff so I think it was my gun. They sent me 4-5 different guide rods and were a pleasure to deal with. I thought it was their parts at first because I changed them out before shooting the gun. Nope it was the gun.
I hear that, Salt. Man It sucks. Thankfully i didn`t take a bath on mine, they immediately refunded my full amount that i paid and they put it towards the Ruger MkIII-Target. I also bought the Ruger Mk4-Target (stainless) when they came out, and i LOVE it! I shoot CCI-SV and it just drives`em all day long without a glitch, ever. Last month i mounted a Vortex Defender-XL green dot on it. It`ll drive`em!
Thank you because I do not see many Ruger Single Six’s by me so I would have ordered it off the web sight unseen and been rather pissed about what you are describing. That stuff aggravates me. On a $230 pistol fine I get a bit of it but the single six isn’t cheap. I trust firsthand accounts from forums way more than expert reviews. In fact, I have given up on reading expert reviews and I only read firsthand forum accounts. I still use caution because some people can be morons. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen negative comments or reviews because something came in broken. Well how is that the fault of the product if it was damaged in shipping?
As much as I appreciate pretty much all the six cylinder "Cowboy" revolvers, the down side is reloading them...yea, it's OK if you're just plinking a few shots, or maybe hunting small game, but it seems to empty out fast and take a lot of time to refill.
