Well this gun has changed my original thoughts about Ruger. I’ve always had a Ruger no matter if it was a .22 Long rifle or a 9mm pistol and while I’ve always liked their guns I never thought that they were not up to snuff with Smith & Wesson and Sig Sauer and the rest of the big name pistol manufacturers.
Well this gun really changed all that for me. This gun I will take and use anywhere it’s so compact and the weight is amazing. I just can’t say enough about this gun. So lets get to the specifications.

- Great grip and feels great in hand
Cons

My vote
This is a must have compact pistol if you have a long standing problem with Ruger this is where I’d give them another try.
