For far too long now, I think Ruger is trying to crank out too many guns. I never understood the "Million Gun Challenge" nonsense they've done in the past since the result was quantity at the expense of quality.
Mediocre ain't a challenge, it's easy ...... just ask Smith & Wesson.ETA: Look at all the knocks & dings noted in these pics on a brand new gun. This is pathetic .... Taurus does a better job at aesthetics.
