If you want a perfectly fitted and finished gun you will need to buy a USFA and pay about $1200 to $1500 dollars for it. I have a new model single six purchased recent months and it is probably the best fitted Ruger I have owned.Owned several over the years. Some are fitted pretty good and some are not.
What he said! You buy a Ruger you're buying a mass production, assembly line item. Grip frames are cast, and finished to final dimensions, then finished. Grips are done elsewhere. At the maker's bench they take part A and part B and put them together. You're NOT going to get a perfect fit doing that. You get it on other makes, Freedom ARms for example, because you PAY for it. Notice the nice fitted grips cost more than the standard mass-produced ones from Ruger.

Blah, Blah........I get sick and tired of people blasting Ruger for this kind of thing...........Do have one of these? Do you have any reason to Rosie O'Donnell? Do you just like to Rosie O'Donnell?
Why don't you find some other place on the internet and see what they think....

the grips do 'shift" and you can force them to move one way or the other, on purpose or accidently, so just push them up, in place and tighten the screw, just do not over tighten...................as for the serial numer being "on an angle" oh well , one of many thousands that I have "seen" over the years from Colt, Smith,Ruger , DWA and on and on............just a manufactruing anomoly, and certainly NOT a good enough reason to 'reject" it...............the numbers gotta be all there and readable...seen some on some makes they use a "etch'; and rub enough ,long enough , and the numbers disappear................duh

That gun in the original picture is unacceptable and the OP shouldn't be ashamed to show it.
"If you want a perfectly fitted and finished gun you will need to buy a USFA and pay about $1200 to $1500 dollars for it."
So thats justification for producing "CRAP" in America's time of need?
Thats poop and a piss-poor American craftsmanship attitude. The attitude of comprimise some of you have is the reason the country is going down hill.
By the way, "criticizing" Ruger is exactly what the poster's are doing by accepting and agreeing Ruger doesn't produce the best product.
"Grip frames are cast, and finished to final dimensions, then finished. Grips are done elsewhere" Hell Pard, this is 2012, even sweatshop Chinese children can follow a pattern better than that!!!!!
Ifin a man puts down hard earned coin for a gun, he should expect it to come from the distributor as the best the factory can produce.
Rosie O’Donnell on that for a while!!
