Just got this and Ruger quality is not very good now a days.
The grip is molded and the inserts are cheapy plastic with bad screws etc. I have an old SP with the factory rubber / black plastic and it is a lot nicer. Then the cylinder hits the frame when pointing the gun upward. If spun it drags on the frame. The crane does not sit smooth to the frame when looking from the front of the gun. Barrel to chamber seems fine but it just seems off to me.
Cocking the hammer is like dragging wood on sandpaper. The transfer bar is super loose and flopping around in there. I thought it was broke at first.
I need to look it over more this weekend and post pictures but does anyone else have one and notice any of these things? For a gun with retail over 700 I expect better quality.
I saved a long time to get a new gun (early Christmas present) and now think I should have spent less and got a used older unit.
