I've never handled one, although pricewise it seems like a good deal, & I do like knives with a finger hole in them. However, "KenpoTex" made some very good points. There're 2 holes instead of one, that can be a problem in a high stress situation. Also, there're some very good knives that I'd probably get before getting a Ringer. The least expensive one would be the TDI. The Emerson La Griffe & HAK's utility model are both close in price, & Spyderco's SPOT. I have all the listed knives, except the Ringer & La Griffe. I used to have the La Griffe, but prefer Spyderco's SPOT to it, mainly because of their "regular" blade vs Emerson's chisel grind, which I'm not a fan of. The Spyderco SPOTs are discontinued, though, so they're going up in price.
While I really like my utility HAK (440C straight edge), Ka-Bar's TDI is very good too & probably easier to use in a crisis, plus its blade is a bit larger & probably more useful.
