Believe what you will, nobody wins with Ruger except in Ruger matches.
Ruger doesn't build firearms for competition. They are built for rugged use by the masses. The Ruger Stainless Super Redhawk is stronger than most any other single action revolver with the possible exception of perhaps the Freedom Arms guns, and they cost triple and beyond that of a Ruger. The Ruger #1 falling block action has survived blow up tests involving filling .458 cases with Bullseye, pounding a 500 gr. bullet into the lands, and remotely firing it. Pressures went off the chart at 110,000 PSI. The gun was destroyed, but did not explode. The Ruger GP-100 is one of the strongest .357 Magnum revolvers currently being produced. I have well over a dozen Rugers and have never had one fail, trigger or otherwise. When you consider the cost it is all but impossible to purchase a Magnum handgun for the same price that offers as much.
If your going to compete you need to look elsewhere, just the same as if you want to drive in Formula 1 you don't go shopping for a new F-250. Ruger is one of the few firearm success stories in a sea of failures. There is a reason for that. Bill T.
