And I love it ! Thanks to all who posted questions about these wonderful guns and to all who recommended it. I had a ton of good references to help me make my decision. Ruger sure makes a strong, well finished gun.
This gun shoots beautifully! Its the 5.5" stainless. It's definitely my best looking handgun. The sights are just right. I actually shot it more accurately fast than when I aimed carefully. The grip almost fits my hand perfectly, the only problem is my pinky doesn't quite fit. And I had no problem working the action with one hand. I was shooting the CorBon 200gr at 1100fps. Perfect mix of power and medium recoil. But it sure did have a nice BOOM! I can't wait till tomorrow - get to shoot it again!
I also just ordered some of the mega loads from Buffalo Bore (325gr at 1325 fps, 1267 ft.lbs). I will use these sparingly. I may just have to start reloading so I can come up with a formula between these two loads .
