Yes, I just got mine today. It's the stainless-slide model.
First...I like the gun; a lot. It fits my hand; it points well; I like the barrel length and I like the weight of the gun. And the pinkie-thing that goes on the 10-round mag is gonna be very nice.
HOWEVER, I am (almost) shocked that Ruger let that gun get out of the shop as is.
The cocking serrations are sharp enough to cut tissue. Why? Nobody wants/needs serrations this sharp. I can't dry-cycle the gun comfortably more than a few times without heavy leather gloves.
The trigger pull is just about 12 pounds, which is ridiculous. Even the infamous "New York" trigger on the LEO Glocks is only about eight pounds, and that's heavy!
The left-hand safety was inoperable for some time until I used the right-hand safety and gradually "worked" it in.
I realize that I can knock down the sharp edges of the serrations once I decide a decent method of doing so. Perhaps I'll use a stone, or maybe 230 grit lapping compound or sandpaper on a Dremel wheel.
And I have pre-ordered the 3.5# GHOST trigger.
But I really wish I didn't have to.
The price is awfully reasonable; i.e. cheap, but now I know why.
Fortunately, Josh Hearne is around to save the day and talk me through some of these "repairs." I would have (gladly) paid an extra hundred bucks to have the gun come without these problems.
I don't understand the marketing philosophy that allows putting out the product when it's clearly not ready to be used.
