Haven’t shot a Ruger center fire semi auto pistol in many years, the P series were nothing but ugly trotline weights. 4 years ago Ruger came on as a sponsor for the show and supplied us with a few rifles and even a few of the SR series rim fires. At the last show I looked at one of their SR9c’s and was kind of liking the feel of it (I’m a SIG guy who doesn’t like striker fired pistols or plastic). They sent me an SR9 and I gave it a pretty good workout on the ranch. It rode in a dusty old 4x4, got knocked around and even dropped a couple of times, once in the mud. The pistol never failed to fire or eject and it’s accuracy was within my standards (Not on par with my SIG’s but acceptable). They’ve come a long ways since the old P series. Their rifles are another story. I shoot Ruger American Predators for the show and they have been incredibly accurate, the 243 and the 22-250 both love Harnady ammo and since they’re also sponsors that’s a real plus. With the American models they finally put the damn safety back where it should have been. I’ve always liked the older tang safety rifles. Been a fan of their single action pistols for as long as I can remember, even used them on the show a couple of times. The 30 Carbine makes a heck of a varmint round, just make sure everybody including the camera man has hearing protection. I highly recommend any Ruger products.
You’re 100% dead on w the tang safety.
Is is EXACTLY where it should be, and why on earth did they ever move it to the bolt???
