Shame.
Mine has the same issue with the gap in the grip front. We're it not for the fact I really like their color and figure, I'd change them out.
My rear sight was loose as well out of the box. Easy fix.
So how does it shoot????????????
We all know that fit and finish aren't necessarily the best with Rugers, but you don't really pay for that do you? It's a good thing they aren't very expensive!
I want to know how it shoot! That is the true test IMHO. My .454 is loose as well -- it's no FA, but I can tell you that mine will shoot right alongside my FA 83 in .454.
I know the grip fitment rather sucks, but.......
How does it shoot?????
I didn't mean for that to sound combative, but see how it shoots first. Like I said, mine is as loose as a goose, but it shoots really well, and yeah, the grip fitment is bad -- just like some other Rugers that I have, but it's really cool as it is a five-shot!
