being a Ruger it has to go back for incorrectly aligned front sight and/or barrel BUT it'll be a good'un when it returns....

Well........it's not coming back. Ruger called this morning and said they couldn't make it shoot straight either  :( - SO they're sending me a whole new one  ;D.

It being a Lipsey's limited run thing I was a little surprised - but God bless 'em anyway

It hasn't arrived yet alf, and I scored a pretty nice xdraw basketweave holster on the Bay too! - Can't wait to pair them up :(

D'ya think they'll have to make one special or try to score one from Lipsey's - they claim to still have some?

mp?

Replacement revolver arrived today! - a quick six rounds at my ffl's  indicates that this one shoots MUCH straighter - Thanks to Ruger for exemplary customer service.

What's the barrel length on the new Ruger? It looks kinda stubby to me.

I think I like them better than the laminates but I'm still looking for 'perfect'
