I love my 353 FA. That said, I shoot my Rugers and BFRs alot more. I only have one as delivered Ruger, a NIB 357 max. Everything else has had something done, even if only an action job and custom grips. Several have Wells grip frames. Freedom Arms makes a nice revolver, but for the money, Bowen, JRH, Gallagher, Linebaugh, etc. makes a nicer one.

I'm not that much into convertibles. I prefer a dedicated gun (or two) to a specific caliber with the sights set for whatever load I settle on. Of course, I never REALLY get that last part.

Fascinating thread.
I see a lot of personality shown in the responses. We all seem to be a little different in our stages of life and our preferences.
I'm been facing the same question for awhile. For me, I can't sell the "nothing special" Rugers, because they are special to me. Each of those listed has taken me years to find and now they don't make them anymore. My BH8, S7, and Buckeye aren't going anywhere; not to mention my Vaquero in .32's.
On the other hand, Freedom Arms is still out there cranking away. This often effects my buying. I would love to have a FA; but I figure, and I could be wrong, I have time on that one (a 3 cylinder .32 with long octagon)
Prescut and Variety is the spice of life.

Thank you to everyone who weighed in. It looks like it's almost even on opinions! I've read and considered all responses and have been talking with a couple of forum members as well. For now, I'll keep the Rugers, save up my money, and decide what will be next. Some flavor of .32-20, no doubt!

If you keep the Rugers,, and work towards getting the FA,, years from now,, you'll look back & say; "I'm glad I did,,,," instead of "Gee,, I USED to own a few Rugers,, that I wish I still had."
