I always have liked Rugers.  Have several in calibers from .22 to .45 Colt.  I
was never one to be overly concerned with the prestige of a brand, instead
preferring to concentrate on quality and usefulness.  I find that a lot of
times a big name that draws a big price is just an example of spending extra
money for that name and not receiving anything else in return....

                                                       Regards,
