I have to make an personal observation.
In my quest for the right gun for me throughout the years - I never once considered Ruger (semi-auto at least)
I concentrated on Sig, GLOCK, Springfield Armory as the primary three pistols, and since the not-so-secret-secret SR1911 I've cone back and started looking at Ruger and specifically the LC9 lately and have honestly regretted NOT looking at them.
I truly am entertaining replacing my GLOCK 26 with a LC9 because there are times and places that the 26 just does not conceal as well as I think the LC9 will.
Don't get me started on the SR1911 or the M77-GS Scout rifle. - may be an expensive year for me this year - Thanks Ruger.
