Most Likely An Excellent Example Of The Breed

My only two Ruger purchases in the past few years (Lipsey's Flattop 45 and Light Weight Commander) has convinced me that Ruger can produce high quality ready to go firearms right out of the box. They know how to get things right the first time.

I have no reason to think that the New Ruger American pistols will be any less thought out and serviceable. There is a large market for the plastic striker fired pistols as witnessed by the sales of other makes.

These pistols will be American made, Ruger backed and available at a very good price. I expect them to do well in the market place.

These type pistol have no panache or appeal to those of us, who like 1911s, Hi-Powers and similar steel pistols. These plastic pistols are soulless killing machines, and very good at that task. I have two Glocks (17 and 19) and trust them to do their job, but have no emotional connection with them. If they are stolen or lost, they won't be mourned, just replaced.
