vlavalleI am a very long time owner of Ruger revolvers, which is what Ruger makes by far the most! So, when I see that there is a series of handgun safety from Ruger. But this is all about semi-auto handguns, and nothing to do with revolvers!!! While there are some safety similarities, the two types of handgun vary quite a bit. For example, to keep a revolver safe, with single action revolvers, all you have to do is keep the cylinder somewhere else! You can do this with double action revolvers also, but it is a little bit more cumbersome. You cannot do this with any semi-auto handgun. I have several friends who are in the process or just did purchased a revolver (a Ruger Redhawk by one of them), and I was thinking of passing this set of videos off to them, but not that I see it is really for semi-auto handguns.I am so surprised that Ruger authorized this in their name when enough of it does not apply to revolvers.
