Amazing how U-Tube, and Internet "experts" proclamations have replaced actual handling, and firing of the gun. One video out of multiples found an issue, and, of course, the usual response is to believe it over all of the rest. Sad commentary about a supposedly educated group.
The NRA video mentions that the sample shown was the "Pro" Model. The safety, mag disconnect, and loaded chamber indicator are supposedly available on the standard version. That same video also mentions the new Modular Handgun System Trials, and Police bids.
It would appear that Ruger is transitioning it's lines to reflect the American name.
Face it, despite the drive-by drivel of some, Ruger wants part of the Police market, and to be positioned to enter the mythical new Handgun Trials that the military keeps teasing the manufacturers with. In a day of budget constraints, and shrinking force levels, the military needs a new handgun like we need another President like Obama. There are many more important systems that need upgrades. Maybe fixing the bolt deterioration of the M4 carbine using M855A1 ammo?
Instead of frothing at the mouth about a gun that most of us have never held in our hands, let's try to actually get our hands on one, shoot it, and make a (gasp) informed decision.
