The Ruger Forum(S)

Just a quick review, in case anyone wants to supplement the fine reading here on GTOL........

After dropping off the Ruger Forum dot com, I've been on the dot net one for about a week. Not so highly opinionated, and a lot less political debate. You can upload a limited number of photos from your own computer. Plus it seems to average about 40 posts a day, versus 200 on the dot com one.

A friendlier bunch of nice, average Joes. There's bound to be a few ladies, not sure yet (not that I'm looking).........

.net (red Ruger) seems to have less technical information although Iowegan is a good resource. His books of knowledge are pretty good, although I like Bullseye's technical section for the MK's better. Cute part of the .net is the little spats and people getting banned. I believe this was the forum that one of the founders got into a spat and started another forum. http://www.earlyriserscoffeeshop.com/forum/

the .com forum is fuller of highly opinionated folks who get a bit testy every now and then. Some of the tech stuff is darned good. If you have an SR9 or SR40 jhearne's posts on that forum are a must read.

I haven't noticed any dot net Ruger forum spats, so far. So far as Ruger dot com being opinionated and testy, you got that 101% right! I could do without all the political squabbling on either. I think the politics should be limited to gun related issues, but the squabblers enjoy themselves as is.

I agree that Bullseye's Mark pistol expertise is tops. That's what led me to this forum in the first place.......

I've posted on both forums at times, more so on the dot com than dot net site. Typically I scan for folks needing technical assistance and try to avoid the bickering threads. My free time has just gotten a lot more critical recently and I don't get to spend as much time on the computer as I have in the past.

Plus, I've learned that now days there's way more folks who know more about firearms than I, and therefore don't genuinely need my assistance.

I doubt that. Maybe just a detail or two. You are the man to ask on Rugers!

The dot com forum definitely gets heated over politics. I think they post more on that than Rugers!

Yeah, I just stick to the rimfires on that forum.
