I totally agree with comments on assembly of the Ruger. If you have to force the latch on the back of the handle, it's not right. Stuff can bend. I found that out the hard way. I had to take it to a dealer and have it repaired. That's the only thing i didn't like about it.

Bye my dad bought it new in their 60's for a while $40.00! It was a Ruger "standard" pre- mark series but still the same thing. It's had hundreds of rounds put throught it with no mishaps and is still about as accurate as ever.
