Every time I go visit family in TN from Norfolk I always take one. I have stopped at a few shady rest from time to time. Plus it is nice going to a free outside range too.
I have had a 95dc for a while. I haven't had any problems with it and it has fired anything I put in it. It can be a pain to cc it in the summer for me if I don't want to wear a huge shirt but in the winter it is no problem. My dad has also owned his ruger since '91 and hasn't had a problem with it ...
