My 10" is my favorite pistol in my safe. I own a buckmark as well but the ruger will never leave my side. I grew up shooting my grandfather's ruger standard model and have been hooked ever since. It's actually in my safe as well and will never leave until I pass it on to my son.
Seriously though, where's the bacon choice?
Poll so far shows:
6 Browning
4 Ruger
1 for either
How about Ruger Mk II?
Couple others I put together for friends.
Much better pistol IMHO lest my comment be construed as "testy". The MK III has too much "lawyer" input.
