I have heard this story both ways. Did AMT announce their Lightning pistol before Ruger announced a stainless Mark II, or vice versa?
thanks

The Lightning came first. Ruger sued to stop production. The MKII came shortly after.

Thanks Don, I knew about the lawsuit but was never clear on who came first with the stainless.
It is my understanding that that Bill didn't dislike Harry, which sounds curious, he just didn't want him knocking off his guns. Do you know anything about their relationship?
thanks
