    MIM trigger on SRH .44 mag. Should I be concerned?

    I hate the MIM trigger on my GP100. They have rounded it so much that it digs into my finger on the DA pull. The pressure of the trigger pull is no longer distributed equally.

    Ruger Alaskin...

    Thanks Bear Paw Jack I actually had these grips in my parts box. It came with the Hogue Tamer grips and they felt pretty good, but I like these better. I will look into the Buffalo Bore 45 Colt loads. I think I'm going to buy the 45 Colt dies since the brass for the 454 is so much more...

    Ruger Alaskin...

    A few weeks ago I picked up a used 454 for $600 at my LGS. It came with the box and aftermarket sights (Bowen and Hi-Viz). I knew it was a good deal when I saw it because the local dealers told me they can't get the new 454s due to high demand in Alaska. I like the sight combo... Real easy...

    New member, questions on security six grips

    They are my favorite grips. Towards the end of their production the Sixes came with Sile rubber grips. I have them with the Ruger Logo and without, they are the same ones from CDNN Sports. Here is a side by side of the factory rubber grips (Sile) and the compact wood. They also came with a...

    Rugers Q/C today Super BlackHawks and Lipsey's Exclusives

    Mine were DA revolvers and mostly defective replacements that they sent me. The two I bought brand new passed the revolver checklist, but malfunctioned after firing. On my GP, the barrel was so canted that it could not be sited in. They hid the canted barrel by machining the flat of the...

    Rugers Q/C today Super BlackHawks and Lipsey's Exclusives

    I've been buying and shooting Rugers since 1995... I've had no problem until 2013. Sent in 4 defective Rugers, and three were DBR (defective beyond repair). They kept sending defective replacements. Maybe just bad luck, but my LGS verified they have been getting worse the last few years. I...

    Redhawk Backpacker

    They had a new one at my LGS for $850. But... they also had a used Alaskan 454 for $650. I went home with the Alaskan for $600, but that Redhawk was incredibly tempting!! Nice lookin Ruger IMO!!

    Ruger/Lipsey's Quality Falling Fast ?

    I agree RSIno1 This is the kinda politically correct garbage that makes me wanna regurgitate. Pumping out crap in the name of a good return policy. Un-American if you ask me. I think Bill Ruger would roll over in his grave if heard this kinda wisdom.

    Ruger/Lipsey's Quality Falling Fast ?

    Sorry Denis, didn't know you went through so much. However, with a clear conscience, you have to hold Lipsey's somewhat responsible. They are making money off the guns giving so many people problems. How are they not responsible? Do all their proceeds go to charity?
