Had my local Ruger pusher put in an order for this one when I read they were going to be a limited run. Got it in January of 2000.
We have taken several deer, 2 coyotes, and one hog together. It has ridden on my hip when Mrs. Thumbcocker and I were in remote places far from pavement and cell signal and provided a lot of comfort. It has made hits on rocks in those remote places at distances that impressed the locals.
Skeeter was right. A good handgun can feed you, entertain you, and comfort you.
Polishing the internals, a 30 oz trigger return spring, and a staggering amount of dry firing have left it with an action that feels like oiled ball bearing.
The grips are American holly finished with multiple coats of true oil. I did the final finishing of the grips. It took me a long time because I would hold it sand the places that didn't feel quite right and so on. They completely fit my hand.
Nothing special just another Ruger. But this one is MINE.
As usual I managed to wiggle on a couple of shots. The flyers are me. Not the gun.
