First off, I would like to ask everyone to take the two minutes it takes and contact your elected officials regarding gun control. Ruger has provided a form letter that is electronically generated. All you've got to do is fill in your name, email address, etc. The letter will be automatically sent to your local and Federal officials.

No Series 80 parts are used and the gun even has the fat Colt Commander-style ejector. The exterior surfaces are nicely beveled and the interior surfaces are nicely machined and finished. The gun includes two flush-fit magazines, a zippered pistol pouch and a manual. Also included is the usual trigger/gun lock. The box: 
The gun and padded pouch: 
Field stripped: 
Frame: 
Nice bevel: 
Caliber marking. Note loaded chamber slot on barrel: 
Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see and I'll try to get a photo. |

I think Ruger put the usual warnings in as inconspicuous a location as possible. Considering what could be written there such as FI Brazil or Made in Philippines I think the warning label looks pretty good! ;-)
Quoted:
What's the writing under the dust cover? Free manual from Ruger? Fires without magazine? Either way, it shouldn't be there. Unless it says something like designed by the 13th disciple of Christ, JMB. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Here's a cellphone pic of the thumb safety. I don't know who Ruger's getting them from but it appears to be the extended MIM safety I've seen on guns from other makers.
It operates crisply and I like the contrast offered by the mag release, slide release, safety and mainspring housing. 
And I still haven't shot the thing yet....
