Moved a few days ago, and was checking the local gun shops on my day off.
Ruger has really bumped up the prices on their revolvers, saw a GP-100 in stainless for $715.00 NIB, I bought my GP-100 blued in 2002 for $399.00. Also, their once great value Single Six are way up in prices, have owned two of them, currently have one in stainless purchased new 10 years ago for much less money than they want now, good guns.
If I was starting out in handguns I would go with a Taurus G2, or a S/W SVD, or Ruger 9mm over much of what is out there now. Man, the prices on these are now so high with much of the traditional brands, Ruger, Smith and Wesson, SIG, Glock, etc. Why so much in price increase with Ruger?? And they wonder why the young guys are going with the semi-auto handguns over revolvers! Why the high prices on the traditional gun makers when an SVD or a G2 will work just fine?
