To my knowledge Ruger only produced this gun for a couple of years. Does anyone know the reason it was dropped so quickly?
I've heard flame cutting in the top-strap was pretty severe, but as far as I know Ruger never recalled the gun which seems to indicate they didn't think it was unsafe.
Was it just a marketing flop or was it dropped for other reasons?
This gun has been floating around on my "maybe" list for a long time and I'm trying to decide whether to chase one down or forget it. I know ammo is rare, but I reload so it shouldn't be a problem.
Just to be clear, I'm not looking for reasons to buy a different gun instead but for reasons not to buy a maximum.
