I traded a taurus in for the last ruger I purchased. I was happy to get rid of the taurus. I emailed ruger for a manual for the firearm i got second hand and inquired about a box for it. Got the manual but ruger said i had to buy one of their crappy cases for it. Why do people do , buy a gun and throw the box away on their way out of the store? Keep the box it came in people! Freaking morons.
