Handled one for the first time yesterday in one of the local shops. They were having an event with ruger reps there so i conversed with him about this pistol. He stated he personally prefers the burnt bronze one as he is able to pick up the front sight blade better in bright sunlight with it. Also i expressed my concerns about the durability of the gun and he said he knows of one at factory that has over 10000 rounds through it and is still going strong. All said i will probably pick one up eventually as a plinker and maybe to carry on the trapline in foul weather. Definately quality wise feels like a better gun than the Heritages etc. Hoping they come out with a 22 mag conversion cylinder for it also.
