Timbo's P90 does feed rocks. It also feels like a super sized Combloc modern art abomination. Houge's hand model is clearly intended for somebody else because not one of their fingermolded grips fit me worth a hoot. Ruger's stocks are yet another reason why Zytel is the worst material ever pressed into that role. Grips aside the utter lack of checkering and abundance of sharp edges are a subtle combination that ensure that you can't hold on to it when you want to yet it's guaranteed to hang up on something when drawing! Plus they don't seem to comprehend the virtues of putting the safety on the frame where you don't have to be third degree awkward to operate it under duress. Seriously why can't anybody design a slide mounted safety that flips DOWN for fire and up for safe? I did once read that Ruger engineers milled off one entire half of the slide frame interface just to see if it would work. Apparently they called old Bill to let him know that it was still feeding and ejecting. Bill told them to get back to work as he already knew the gun was tough. Which leads me to wonder why they didn't just mill half the thickness away on each side and make the gun better looking, lighter, and easier to holster...
