This was going to be my recommendation. Because I have one. Also have a Ruger P89 but that loose tolerance beast is hard to recommend with today's standards. Think I'm going to go with those convertible Blackhawks, which are now on my list to go with my two .40 239s with 9mm and .357sig barrels, and my .40 229 with a .357 sig barrel. --------------------------------- I know my nation best.

This is one that I don't yet have, but really want. I passed on one in the LGS a year or so ago for $850. Should have bought it. Current MSRP is #1300!!!  For that money I'll stay content with my Blackhawk Convertible...it was literally half that. | |||

I luckily got mine before the insanity hit, I think $850 is around what I paid for it. It’s a real fun gun that makes shooting .45ACP a blast. If you get one buy TK Customs moon clips. The factory Ruger moon clips are okay but the TK Customs are far better. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

I am a fan of Ruger products and completely support you buying something for the heck of it. You mention a few options, and others have made some suggestions. I don't know you enough to fine-tune recommendations beyond what you've found here but I have yet to find a Ruger that I didn't have fun with. I will say that, if you are a bit persnickety about trigger feel [like I am. My friends think I'm a trigger snob- not a brand one, but one based on 'feel'.], you will probably find that you'll want the triggers worked on. That should NOT cause you to not buy anything, but you should be aware. The only three [new] Ruger's I've used that I NEVER felt needed to be worked on were: Mini-14, P97DC, LCR [either in .38 or .357- I LOVE the factory feel compared to many others out of box!]. I could go into plus/minus recommendations- but, I just don't know enough about what floats your boat to do anything other than write a browser long post assessing the qualities of every firearm they make- and that is far from helpful. I will say, why stop at one? Keep in mind that I believe the New Hampshire factory is primarily revolvers, while the Arizona factory is semi-autos, and I think their semi-auto rifles are Arizona or the new one in the south [north carolina? I forget]. SO, if you want one MADE near you, it will probably be a single-action revolver. I bring this up from using the customer service lines when contacting them, as I have semi-auto pistol, SA revolver, DA Revolver, and semi-auto rifle- and I've had to get info from multiple locations at times. Sigs and Non-Sigs: I enjoy having options! | |||

Since you are in NH, I’d likely pick from the list of NH-made models: LCR LCRx Bearcat Ruger SP101 Wrangler GP100 Super GP100 Single-Six Family New Model Blackhawk New Model Super Blackhawk Redhawk Super Redhawk Vaquero SP101 is the most iconic Ruger gun to me, so that would be my first pick. Bearcat would be my next choice. You really can’t go wrong with any of them..

I'd love to have my old 200th year #1 Henry 45/70 back. I sold it to help pay for an engagement ring. The gun is long gone but I still have the girl. | |||

The No. 1 is a very attractive rifle. I had one for a time, a Light Sporter (22-inch barrel with the front sling swivel on the barrel) in .30-06. However, when trying to shoot it off a bench, it beat my shoulder and arm numb. | |||
|
| Who Woulda Ever Thought? |
Yeah, the light sporter in .30-06 will punish you. | |||

So many great options in this thread, and I think it speaks to the broad range of really good products that Ruger produces as a company. They make a little of everything, and aren't afraid to offer stuff in a wide variety of calibers and barrel-lengths, etc. I don't like everything they make, and sometimes I prefer a competitor's product, but it's undeniable that they have their finger on the pulse of the market and know what shooters actually want. My favorite gun is not a Ruger, but they are probably my favorite gun company. | |||

Either the Super Redhawk Alaskan in .480 Ruger, or the Model 77 African in .375 Ruger.   If neither of those did the trick, I have always lusted after the Stainless Bird's Head Vaquero in .45 Colt.

Anything? 10/22 takedown with a bull barrel and Magpul stock. Stainless wouldn't be too much to ask for. Ruger single action convertible .22/.22 Mag, 6in barrel. Again, stainless. Yeah, when it comes to Ruger, my tastes are simple. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

The Super Redhawk and Super Blackhawk my Grandpa left us in a useful caliber instead of .41 Magnum. | |||

I consider the .41 veryi useful. I would think you could sell those 2 guns for good money as not a lot were made.
