Hi Murphy, no Ruger pistol specified but, if the Ruger has the machined rear slide already, it's just a matter of attaching the bracket/optic and sighting in.

Randy I. · Answer

I would contact ruger and ask if they have any optic ready models (I don't know of any) Telephone: 336-949-5200 / Fax: 603-863-6165

Rudy G. · Answer

I'm sorry, but you did not specify what Ruger pistol you are talking about. It is important because some you just can't do it unless you have major modifications and others are Optics ready. I will suggest contacting your local FFL for Gunsmithing so they can give you precise information.
