Thanks! You're very welcome. Indeed capitalism is great imho, and that's why I'm glad that those in the system send california the proper message.
ps - I was born and raised in SoCal and you couldn't pay me to live there now.
pps - I think I'll go support Ruger's decision to ignore Cali by going out and buying their 1911.

ronnie barret won't sell his 50bmg rifles to LE in Cali because the state won't allow private citizens to own them. nice to see stand up gun company owners like that.
i saw him on the military channel talking about it. big 2nd amen guy
Cali is an inflamed boil on the buttocks of the US. would never live there, so it doesn't bother me either if they can't buy guns i own. move.

Exactly! I wish I could afford to support Mr. Barrett's decision too!

Back on target (pun intended) - I'd like to see a stock ambidextrous safety option. I'd buy one tomorrow if Ruger offered this feature.
Side note - I own four Rugers, two rifles and two handgus. They're all solid, reasonably priced firearms that perform well.

Galling
Hello,
I have seen the pictures of the galling. I also just purchased an SR1911 and when I took it apart to clear before shooting I noticed some small scratches similar to the galling pictures, but not to the same extent. I also notices a thin, 1/4" long metal chip inside the gun. I also had similar burrs on the slide grooves in my gun.
From all of this, I surmised the chip was a burr that had come loose and the scratches were not galling, but scratches from the harder material of the burr getting caught between the softer slide and frame. Stoned to the slide to remove the burrs.
I have since shot around 100 rounds through the gun with no malfunctions and decent - for me - accuracy. No more scratches and the small ones that were present have been worn down from the gun breaking in.
From my perspective it is not galling, but scratches from the slide not being fully de-burred. I did notify Ruger of this and hopefully they will have it all worked out.
Thanks,
Andy
