I wasn't stating any of that as fact by the way, as stated, I've never fired one, only played with them in stores. the remarks of possibly poor accuracy are based off of what appears to the the general consensus, "you can have cheap or you can have accurate but BOTH is a hard order to fill". most companies though DO send their cream of the crop to reviewers in order to get higher marks. not that I'm knocking on ruger at all. IMHO they are the only fully 100% american gun company left and they do a damn fine job of keeping it that way.
