So, I bought one in a 9mm and was pleased with it until it started misfiring on rounds I loaded "singly" (instead of using the "clips"). I called Ruger, then sent it in for repair. When I received the pistol back, I noticed it had a different front sight (upgrade from previous) and the cylinder had been changed. (I suspect the cylinder was not "drilled" to "spec" the first time.) I am impressed with the accuracy of this gun, in which it did not suffer from poor accuracy in the first place! The recoil of the 9mm is on "par" with the .38 Special and it is way faster to load and unload with the clips. Additionally, it now shoots single loaded cartridges as well as most of my "rimed" case revolvers. It makes for a very easy carrying pistol that is simple to shoot well, even with its double action "only" design.
