Size/Shape Comparison: Ruger/Colt

Post by doc540 »

Depending on how one carries, the shape of a pistol can be just as important if not more important than size.

Good pics and comparison. Is the Colt a 6 shot? If so then they are on par with firepower as well as size.

A more useful comparison would be the Ruger semi and a Colt semi, or compare a Ruger SP101 with the Colt revolver.

Shouldn't be any significant difference between the SP101 (5 shot) and a Colt DS (6 shot), since they use the same holster.

No disrespect to the Ruger, but I'll take the Colt. Nice photos and interesting comparison. Thanks.

As much as I LOVE Colt, I'll have to go with the Ruger. Sorry Sam.

Marinemom, What's the price on that LC9 you have waiting for you in Spring?

My trusty sidekick Agent was sold during lunch today.
