I gotta say I'm new to the Ruger line but my uncle swears by their reliability and he is the one who turned me onto them. From everything I have heard and read the P series seems to be very well worth the money. Oh and congrats on the anniversary!
Time will tell about the LCR. They have plastic parts. I've owned a number of large bore Ruger pistols before arthritis got to me. I've owned 4 Ruger Superblackhawks in 44mag, a Blackhawk 'convertible' (came with a .357 cylinder and a 9mm cylinder) I still have my 4" Security six and a .22 Mark I My Ruger 10-22 really didn't survive the house fire. It's rather unattractive nowadays. big rust scabs 'n stuff
All those along with a wandering 1911, Browning Hi-power, couple/ 4 S&W semiautos, including a "long slide" .45, some .380's and a Browning BDA which is supposed to be able to switch from DA to SA. Has a DA pull about like a bumper jack.
Another bumper jack of a DA pull was on an otherwise decent little gun, the DA only AMT backup. Just about had to have hydraulic assist on the trigger.
