My dealer had another Bisley 454 in stock this morning. It looked great and has a good trigger for a factory gun. I put $350 down on it and put it on layaway! :.)

Those pictures show no flaws in that gun. They show some very, very minor cosmetic blemishes that you'll find on any production gun. Your use of the word "hideous" is not consistent with what the pictures show.

That's very true. But I think Ruger has a very, very, very small defective rate on its products, but we never hear about all the good high quality guns that Ruger puts out.
There are no quality "issues" at Ruger and statements like "typical Ruger half-assed workmanship", "Ruger is plain bizzaro sometimes" and "absolutely pathetic" are out of line and uncalled for in a discussion about Ruger's guns.

Clearly you haven't been very well versed in the Ruger QA mindset for the last 10-15 years ... And if you think their error rate is 1%, then you're probably off by a factor of about 20 ... Or your standards are just so low as to be nonexistent.

For most of us the idea is to get ourselves/the bullets from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. The arrival/accuracy is primarily in the hands of the driver/shooter.
