Watching me run a revolver is like watching a fish breathe out of water. I have not been a huge fan of them but I do see their usefulness. At some point I should really try to familiarize myself with them more, but I am into speed and function for a left handed shooter in the case of CCW. I have read many stories of lefties running right handed revolvers with a good amount of competency, so it is possible.
A history of Sturm & Ruger from their own site. Quote:
"When Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. opened for business in 1949 with a meager $50,000 investment, the Company faced serious doubts from industry insiders. The "it can't be done" remarks of the experts reflected the widespread view that the manufacture of guns had likely peaked, and was in a state of decline. There seemed to be few new ideas, and the apparent trend was that the large, established-name gunmakers would continue to dominate the market.
But this fledgling company was guided by several well-thought-out concepts, not the least of which was founder William B. Ruger's intent to build each product "to a standard so I would want one even if it was made by our competitors." This fundamental concept, this deceptively simple touchstone of the underlying principles of innovation, quality and value, has proved so compelling that over 60 years later there is no question which company is preeminent in the American firearms industry. Ruger's rise to its present well-earned position has made it a respected company on the New York Stock Exchange since 1990. Ruger produces millions of firearms each year for hunting, target shooting, collecting, self-defense, law enforcement, and government agencies."
Noticeably Ruger has been there for the older generations and has a rich history in hunting. It can be seen in their, for a lack of better terms, stubbornness when it comes to latching on to new technology. Not that a firearm manufacturer needs to delete a thumb safety from their pistols but that is the new trend and Ruger has been slow to adopt the concept. I respect Ruger and have shot many of their firearms over the years.
