I like RGR.

100% guns. Zero debt.

And a small number of shares outstanding combined with a large short position make it ready for liftoff on ANY good news.

Mary carries Smith & Wesson with her when she goes to the ATM. She has never had any problems. Smith is on the left.

And Ruger's older, used, revolvers are commanding high prices and continue to climb in value.

I looked at a new Model 586 on Saturday.

It's $849 but I think I'm going to buy it anyway.

Fit, finish and trigger were the best I've ever encountered.

Sure hope they don’t take off after something. It would be like dragging her behind a pick-up truck.
