I bought the pistol a few days ago from Buds at a terrific price. The shipping and handling went well and straight to my FFL dealer which i picked up and went to the range this pistol is accurate right out of the box. Love It. It was a pleasure working with BUDS

Overall I would say this handgun is excellent. Not exactly as picture shows when ordering, but I am somewhat glad for that. (Picture has wood grips, my example had Hogue grips, a very positive and comfortable set of grips that I must admit I was planning on installing myself.)

The trigger pull is what you would expect from a factory handgun, so I installed a Volq. Mark II trigger kit into it and got rid of that pesky magazine disconnect (Seriously, I advise this. Not complicated and well worth the money!)

Overall I would say 5/5 and I can see why these are so hard to find!!

I bought the pistol a few days ago. I tried several different types of ammo. I bought this because I am purchasing a suppressor for the pistol. All the subsonic ammo I used (4 brands) did not cycle well. I had jams, stovepipes and a host of feeding problems. Anything with solid lead, this Ruger did not seem to like. Copper coated standard (4 brands), High speed (3 brands) and Hyper speed (2 brands) all did well. But again, anything that was solid lead did not feed well. Since the barrel is only 4 1/2 inches, I don't think that any of the rounds build up to break the sound barrier. With that said, the noise difference is almost, I repeat, almost the same. Accuracy - at 10 yds - all rounds hit within a 3" circle. The sights were right on, right out of the box. Once I match the right round with the pistol I am sure that will improve. I have a Mark III and I hit within a 1 1/2 inches at 10 yds. I am sure this Ruger will live up to that type of accuracy. Do I recommend this pistol? Yes, I think that this is a great pistol, a really good price and dealing with Buds was a pleasure.
