I get what you're saying about having a name that delivers a larger price,
however I find it strange that Ruger's auto-loading pistols haven't sold as
well as Smith and Wessons or similar priced guns.  I don't know many police
or security guys who carry Rugers.  I see alot of Sigs, Glocks, and Smiths.

I find it silly how snobbish people get when someone says they own a P-series
Ruger.
