Good to mention about the recall, but for further information mine was subject to the recall and Ruger paid shipping both ways and returned a new barrel to me within a week. Just wanted to give you that information.
In regards to the performance, mine has been fine. I couldn't pass up the price of $250 shipped, glad I bought mine for that price. I've been thinking of buying a compact version if I can find a deal. I don't think you'll be displeased and if you are I bet you can find a buyer for the same price you paid for it.
The modular nature of the fire control group is nice, especially for maintenance, the whole guts come out as a whole when the slide is removed and the retainer pin in the lower is removed. Makes it really easy for cleaning, lubrication and maintenance. And the materials used is really good, lots of SS parts in the FCG.
