I just got mine and I love it!!
I only got to shoot about 100 rounds through it yesterday, but it is great. I really hammers things and is the perfect packing size. I have an El Paso Saddlery Three Persons holster for it and it carries like a dream.
I have had a 7 1/2 Redhawk since I was 13 and I am pleased to add this to the stable for many years of service.
Good Luck with the Ruger,
Matt
