Hi Folk's, here's the story. I'll try not to be too windy. Awhile back I traded my .357 BH for a GP100, which was a mistake-never could find the love. So, I got a hankerin' for another BH-stainless this time says me. Yeah right, my LGS says it's special order & they don't deal with that outlet. Hey....gunshow in Ft. Worth (weekend before last) not one single NM BH in the whole show. Spotted a couple of FT's, old & new w/silly prices (I would eat those words before the day was out).On the way home I stopped at a Ft. Worth gun store to kill some time. Most of the Folk's who work there are nice & helpful, but this shop is known for being pricey. I've seen worse. Out of curiosity I inquired about the stainless BH. Of course they could get it-$725.00 OTD.I managed to wrangle them down to $685 OTD. Rode the scooter up & got it Saturday kinda rushed w/other obligations to take care of. Later with some time to finally sit down & examine my new prize some things came to light. I think Ruger buffs these guns "after" their assembled. The buffing went every direction but one. The barrel looked rippled with buffing over the top half of the crown. Buff burn on the topstrap. Grips looked undersized to the grip frame with the right side being crooked. I have a single seven that looks custom shop compared to this revolver. Called Ruger yesterday & the nice gal set me up to send it in-mailed it today. Asked if it's possible for a estimate on a 9mm cylinder. I've been buying and collecting Rugers for over 27 years-first one to go back. Guess I'm nitpicky, but as much as I paid I feel justified-Dave
