Same here.I have four new Ruger revolvers purchased over the last two years plus a RAR .223. Never have had a single issue with any of them. Fit, finish and function have been perfect on every one.

The SP101 mentioned with the machining marks is two or three years old. Though Ruger is still having problems, that particular revolver could be argued to not be representative of their current work.Has their quality control really got that bad?
If you want to shoot it for fun, you can get 50 rd boxes of .32 S&W Long target ammo for $16. It's very low recoil stuff, so for defense ammo you can expect to pay the $.50/rd for the Federal soft points or $1/rd for the Speer hollow points.I'm strongly considering an sp 101 in .327 mag, or an sp101 in .357. The extra round would be nice, but I'm honestly concerned about commercial .327 ammo availability, and even more so increased cost.
Are these concerns unfounded? I really want the .327 chambering, but don't want to regret it in 5 years either

Don't forget the Ruger Single Sevens - three barrel lengths and also the 3.5" birdshead variation (I want one of those).On the plus side, Ruger has stuck to its guns and continues to release new offerings in .327 Federal. Henry recently came out with the rifles and carbines that should have been timed for initial release as well. The current production lines include the LCR, LCRX, SP101 in 3" and 4", the GP100 in 4" and 6", and a few different selections from Henry Rifle. It's basically an ideal spread and what the initial launch offerings should have been.
Hey all (and reteach),
Got my stainless Ruger Lipsy's 3 3/4" birdshead .327 Fed SA the other day. Beautiful revolver, but not a big fan of the birdshead frame/grips. I decided to order the stainless plow handle grip frame from Ruger and deciding on grips for it.
I love the Sheriff's barrel length, but want the traditional grips.
I'll be posting the birdshead grip frame and grips here for sale soon. Will fit any modern Ruger SA model. Price will be nice.
Been reloading ammo like you wouldn't believe to shoot this baby.
