Just a heads up for anyone that already owns or is interested in this gun.
I noticed an issue with mine where the guide rod can become off center and prevent the slide from going fully into battery. This should only be a problem with the original stock, as newer ones have already been corrected. Make sure you check yours or the one you're planning on buying for a conical, rather than flat plate, on the front of the guide rod. If you have one with the issue, not to worry, I just got off the phone with Ruger (about 5 minutes worth of talking), and a new assembly is on the way and should be here within a week. Glad I noticed it before my life depended on it! Ruger was very accommodating, don't hesitate to call them!
I'm sure you guru's don't need it, but I have a few pictures of mine showing the issue that I can send via PM if you're interested.
