[rukwikenuf]

i've been looking for one, but none of the shops i've been to have any. they say that the vendors for Ruger (or for the shops) don't even have any on the shelves. i would really like to buy one, and i cant find one! help a brother out!!!

If you want to make a road trip, I know two stores up north (Bemidji and Blackduck) that have a couple.

Have you asked John if he can get one?

[rukwikenuf]

Who, pray tell, is John?

And I don't know if I want to roadtrip for one...

Correct. Great guy to deal with.
I did see one at the East Bethel gun Show recently.

Got one about 2 months ago and finally shot it at the OGC picnic yesterday. Functionally, it was flawless. Went through a box of Federal Champion 45ACP without a single hiccup. A couple of slight dislikes though...the trigger has a little bit of creep, but not bad...the extended trigger makes my hand wrap the gun so that I can't hit the slide stop release with my thumb, had to use my other hand to close the slide. I'm used to my Colts and Springfield GI models with the short triggers. Otherwise, it's a very nice gun.

Saw one last week at the Gander Mountain in Blaine, I don't recall the price though...

A new trigger can be found very cheaply. Short ones are often pulled when the gun is update.

You really don't need to reach the slide stop. If the gun is loaded just pull the slide back a tad with the off hand and let it go like a slingshot.

Same deal really...using the off hand to close the slide. I'll wait on a new trigger. I'm not much of a "tinkerer" with guns. All of mine are factory originals.

Replacing the trigger is no more of a job than doing a field strip and then reassembling the gun with the new part. Some triggers will require a little fitting at the trigger bow to the channel in the frame, but that is very easy.
