Looking at the rear of slide (unloaded gun of course) I can see what appears to be the striker being moved rearward as the trigger is pulled and then see it release. Based on this I don't think it is fully cocked. Mine fully cocks the striker with about a 1 inch rearward movement of the slide...

I have a Lasermax on my lc9s. The Uncle Mike's size 15 iwb holster fits just fine. The DeSantis U4 is my pocket holster and both are pretty cheap.

The striker on the S model is cocked by the slide going back. When ready to fire the trigger only has to work on releasing the sear and not have to pull against the striker spring to cock the striker. That is why the trigger pull on the S model is so sweet

I have one of the old style bases that only takes the ruger rings and don't really need these anymore. Stainless with 1 inch rings and has never been mounted. If this is what you are looking for we can get together with e-mail.

I bought a new 22/45 Target a couple of weeks ago and did not look at it closely enough before buying. Got it home and found that the rear sight was all the way to the right in the dovetail and no amount of hammering on it would move it. Called Ruger CS,had a mailing label e-mailed to me...

The only thing stamped on this frame is the 2 and 3,with the Z or 2 scratched on the bottom right side. I'll just stay with the Ruger wooden prips I just bought although I still wish for a larger grip to fit my hand. I've gone through many pistols and revolvers in my time and should have...

I received the grips yesterday that I had ordered on Feb.5. I guess Ruger is swamped with orders. These Rose wood grips are beautiful and installed with just a little work as the holes for the dowel pin was a tad off. My frame width measures 0.502 so the lock does not touch the grips. I'd...

I'm still trying to find out exactly which frame model I have. I've looked at pictures all over the web and cannot find one that has the grip locating pin in the same place as mine. Any help in getting the right model number and maybe even a part number for Hogue wraparounds with finger...

OK, thanks Hawkeye. Sorry to be such a pain in the a--. I had already looked at your post on the grips a few days ago but was still confused about the way Hogue and Pachmayr listed the grips. My frame is aluminum, measures 0.502,has the same width lock and fits your upper left drawing so I...

I looked over Brownell's site and it looks like a new frame,even if they were in stock, would be over $100.00. I'll just wait Ruger out for the wood grips. How in the world can I tell exactly which frame I have? My pistol is a New Model Single Six Convertable .22LR/.22Mag. Serial #...

Too much trouble to replace the frame. I'll just wait awhile. Surely Pachmayr or Hogue will catch up with grips for these frames. I've got a set of wood grips on order with Ruger and hope they will fit. With all the confusion about the different frames Ruger may not even send the right ones...

Nope, the lock will not let the stirrup pin ride high enough to get the stirrup on. And I can't see how to modify the grips and still have anything holding the on. (no cross screw like the original grips)

Is there any way to remove the internal lock on a .22 cal. new model single six in order to make hogue wraparounds fit?

I've been using Paco's tool for over a year and I can say it does make a good bit of accuracy difference with some ammo, not so much with others. I set up an old Lee single stage press to make things more consistent. I glued a piece of hard plastic to a shell holder, set the tool with round...
