exactly right, with Mr Rugers' attempt to make his gun LOOK and be a bit different than the "Colts" of the day, the users, owners, found the flatgate hard on the thumb nail, the small rounded serrated button , on the ejector rod,slid out of control of the fingers, and the sights needed a bit to be desired, ergo , Micro did a fine job of getting you the adjustable ones.......same with the grips,many others offered grips of different materials as well as size........give the customer what he wants, feels he "needs", 8) :roll: :wink: to make his 'better'
