Ugly? Heavy? Didn't sell?

I bought a police trade in one that I quickly sold... which I now regret. I was looking for a cheaper alternative for our once or twice yearly pistol caliber carbine match. While I loved my AR45, I had tons of money in it and it sat 362 days a year. So I jumped at a great price on a Ruger.

But reloading after 12 rounds of 40 left me cold (compared to 30 rounds of 45 in a grease gun mag), so I sold it after shooting it only a couple times. Skip ahead and NY passes the "safe act" making that Ruger even more valuable here as a still legal option. Wish I'd kept it. It was ugly and heavy, but it did its job. What's worse, mine was converted to use Beretta mags, an easier cheaper option than Ruger mags.
