Mine didn't take two weeks, they returned it two business days after receiving it. They overnighted a shipping container the day after my phone call and I dropped the weapon off at the FedEx counter last Thursday. Received it back today (the following Wednesday). Good job Ruger.
I really enjoy shooting mine. When it was new it had a disturbing bit of trigger creep that I thought was due to the transfer bar. After about 500 rounds, that has worked itself out so I don't really feel the need to spend for a trigger job.
I like mine. The elevated sights are co-witnessed with my Trijicon RMR so if the red dot dies you can still see/use the night sights through the optic. Mine feeds jacketed round nose and jacketed hollow points just fine. With the red dot, shooting center of mass on a silhouette target feels...
Use a dowel to prevent casings from feeding out of the drop tube. This is handy when you've finished with your last primer stack or are setting up the dies.
One thing I found helpful in finding an OAL for my SWC was to build half a dozen dummies and load them into a magazine. Then you can test feeding by racking the slide when the magazine spring is compressed. Start with a longer OAL and you can just keep shortening the dummies until they feed...
Gravity will cause you to shoot high in this case. The NSSF has a nice video that describes how to compute the angle range.

My Glock rattles when the trigger is "to the rear" (i.e. after pulling the trigger on an empty chamber). It's a good check that the striker channel is clean. When the trigger is forward, the striker is half cocked and should not rattle. I like either to cut my own skate board deck tape or...
I don't have a Big Dot, but if you raise the height of the front sight it will lower your POI for the same cartridge. If it's only to be used a self defense weapon the difference at a SD range will probably not matter much.
Model 1889 I think. The following link states that around 1900, the serial numbers changed over to the 200,000 block. I can't help with your other questions.

Check out Talon grips for the G26. I have small hands and shoot with the standard mags and don't miss the pinky finger at all. I have the granulate (skateboard deck tape) version and have well over 3,000 rounds on my Gen 3 since putting the grip on.
If I suspected that a dirty brush was making the patches dirty I'd first try a brand new brush and see it that made a difference before trying ways to clean a used brush. Brushes are cheap compared to barrels.
I really like my 7.5 inch Bisley Blackhawk in 45 Colt and shoot 200 grain LSWC target loads at 25 yards just fine. The single action is not really a pain because with the Ruger you don't need to manipulate the hammer to rotate the cylinder like the older single actions. All you need to do is...
I had problems with some 9mm WWB a couple of years ago. I don't know the lot number but I had about 2 per 1000 defects. The case mouth was damaged (a small tear that folded under the bullet) so that when the slide tried to feed a round it would wedge in the chamber and not go fully into...
