The usual quality and "overbuilt" properties we have come to expect from Ruger. The trigger is a little gritty, but I suspect that will smooth out with use. The factory mags were fine, but I needed to make adjustments to some Mecgar aftermarket units that I already had. I also have a MkII Target model, purchased back in the early '80s that is more accurate and less fussy about ammo. I prefer the bottom magazine release of that pistol, as well. As others have commented, initial takedown is a challenge. You WILL need tools. A plastic hammer and brass or wooden punches are the minimum along with a padded bench. The above said, this is still the standard if one is looking for an all-steel 22LR pistol. I gave four stars as I feel that some of Rugers "improvements" (side magazine release in particular) don't truly improve the design, but I was well aware of this before purchasing. It is reasonably accurate and fun to shoot. I would highly recommend this pistol over some of the newer designs out there. It has endured since the 1950s for very good reasons.
