The Heritage I got had a barrel-cylinder gap you could read a newspaper through, and accuracy... well, you were lucky to get a dinner plate size group at ten yards.
The Ruger Wrangler I have shoots much better, but I haven't shot it much. The mainspring is incredibly heavy. I need to do something about that.
When I got it, the thing would lock up. I discovered that there's a steel bearing surface for the hand to ride on, since it would quickly eat up the lightweight frame. It's a little bit of sheet metal formed into a loop that hooks around one of the pins. It was not assembled right, and the little thingy wasn't in it's proper place and it was jamming up the works. I finally got it in there right, and it works fine now (I'm pretty good with the gunsmithery thing, but I have to say, assembling Ruger single actions is a far bigger pain in the ass than it should be.... they can't even do it right at the factory!
).
