The biggest piece of junk I ever owned was a Ruger, If I applied your logic to every "bad" gun experience I've ever had, I would be missing out on some of the best guns I've ever owned. don't allow 1 bad experience spoil your opinion of the entire company.
I totally agree with this statement. Every company will have a bad gun once in a while when there producing such a high quantity of products, but to hate the company and give up on them without giving them the opportunity to make things right your gonna miss out on a lot of good products with this way of thinking. Like you said you had one bad Ruger but it also sounds like you have had many great Rugers. So to the original post don't be so quick to hate when u have had only this one experience.
