It only took 20 years...
for me to accept a free Glock on the condition I'd actually carry it. It took 6 months of shooting one, to the exclusion of everything else, before I hit 'autopilot' with it. The Glock is proven and has gargantuan aftermarket support. In my opinion Ruger would have to substantially undersell it, for this new American to be successful.
Fortunately for Ruger I do not represent the average American handgun buyer. Many will buy it simply because it is a Ruger and more will buy it because it is the next big thing.
I'm hanging with my old G30.
