Or anyone with an opinion. I have a Ruger Security 9 and think the quality is fine but looking at a Ruger AR 556 and am curious of peoples opinions before I become a fan bouy......

Rifleshooter reports the 556 is a good all around weapon. Personally, I'm a M16 guy 'cause that's what we used in the Army - and I like the smaller profile.
Interestingly, looking at the 556, it can handle a 30-round capacity mag.
I'm looking forward to Ben's take on this one.

AR-15's are practically a cottage industry these days, everybody and his brother seems to be assembling them for fun and profit...Value against the dollar seems to fluctuate with each new political rumbling...They are probably the easiest to build and work on .223/5.56mm platforms in existence today...I see them at gun shows from manufacturers I never heard of at a myriad of prices...My own personal choice has always been Colt because that's what I was first familiar with...I have owned and been a stocking dealer for Rock River also...As far as Ruger goes, they are one of the most trusted and reliable manufacturers with one of the best warranty programs anywhere...
Choose the one with the look, feel and features important to you and enjoy......Ben

I just purchased this Ruger product. Couldn't pass it up for $$249.

Interesting. I regularly carried a Lady Smith 9mm, due to its compactness. I merely had to change mags faster when in a qualification shoot (lesser capacity).

Thanks for the input guys!!!
The pics I posted above were taken by a well known photographer, Terry Popkin, who owned the gun when the pictures were taken...The above is a scan of the original prints I got with the gun when I bought it...That's why they look grainy......Ben

Terry's pics, particularly the ones of animals, are awesome.

While it's under my stewardship it's currently valued at $1600...I should probably bump that up a bit since it is also a 4 screw 14-1, of which very few exist......Ben
EDIT: Here's a pic I took of it today...And incidentally, it's not stainless or nickeled, the blued finish is highly polished causing the light trflection...

You should have no trouble getting that for that beautiful pistol.
