After seeing pictures of the Lipsey's 3.75" Bisley I developed a strong need for one. A forum member had a nib one that he agreed to part with. Nothing about this post is in any way meant to suggest that the forum member is anything but a gentleman who delivered a product exactly as advertised.
My beef is with Ruger. The grips on the gun are so sloppily fitted that you can see daylight when you hold it up to the light. There is a gap between metal wnd lqminate half the thickness of a dime in several places.And for the cherry on top..... slugging the bore revealed a thread choke that stopped the slug like a brick wall. What is going on in New Hampshire? Does anyone at Ruger have a clue about how revolvers work? I have a pile of Ruger products and have been a loyal customer for over 30 years. I am a very brand loyal consumer. I hunt exclusively with bow and handguns and the handguns are Rugers.
It seems that Ruger is putting out a semi assembled product expecting the customer to incurr the aggravation and expense of finishing their job for them. This being a dealer exclusive I thought that there might be people invvolved who would actually do their job. I am not expecting custom quality from a gun with a suggested price of $700 but I don't think it is asking too much for it to be put together correctly.
End of rant.
