I also meant to add that the Number 1 safety is superb, not just preventing the trigger from being pulled but in actually blocking the hammer from falling with the safety on (similar in effect to intercepting safety sears on some fine double shotguns and rifles). I guess Bill Ruger knew some would hunt with a round in the chamber all the time.
It’s surprising to me that this feature never got any publicity that I’m aware of.
yes that is very true , > also Federal Cartridge ammo company uses Ruger # 1 actions to pressure test loads , load development and have for many years this is one of the strongest actions in the world.
