Ruger has always made high quality guns at reasonable prices.
I think Bill Ruger’s Son heads the company now tho I could be wrong. Anyway I have noticed the company has gotten better about offering high capacity mags to regular guys.
I have also noted Colt seems to have gotten more friendly to everyday guys lately.
Apparently, old Bill Ruger himself was the reason why Ruger did not product anything much above 10 rounds for mags, especially on the Mini 14s. After he passed away, new management supposedly changed gears and now 30 round mags are available for Minis, but you better make sure they are Ruger brand. A lot of after market brands apparently don’t work well in Ruger firearms except Ruger brand themselves. I purchased a n0n_Ruger 30 round mag as a gift once to a relative who once owned a P85 9mm pistol. It was epic fail even though it was supposedly made for it.
Customer service is good too.
Sent in an SR9C for FTF problems. Had it back in a couple weeks with new slide assembly, same barrel (No problem there) and all the internals in the frame replaced.
Basically a brand new gun for the cost of shipping
Ruger has always made reasonable quality guns at usually reasonable prices.
