The gun is much...
The gun is much thicker and heavier than I was lead to believe. Even Ruger's website says it's 1.05" wide but it's def thicker and heavier than that. Also, the gun is kind of rough around the edges. It feels like it was meant for military duty (which it was) instead of civilian conceal carry. The plastic feels a grade or two cheaper than other guns. The palm swell can be swapped out but it's kind of loose on there when you pick up the gun. The mag release is stiff and a little gritty. That said, it goes bang every time. I have about 400rds thru it so far, all 124grain, and it hasn't missed a beat. Overall I believe it will be reliable it's just not fancy in the hand like a new Sig or Glock might be.
