It came with a cool hardcase with very firm foam cutouts for pistol and extra mag. and it also came in a cardboard box with a 3 1/2 padlock, owners manual and insert with the updated exploded view after the change was made.

Has a ton of oil on it. Now if I could just find some ammo to buy for it, I'D go the the range......But galveston's range is still down, so Texas City I guess is on the agenda

I wish my several thousands of rounds of ammo didn't get submerged in 4 1/2 foot of saltwater from IKE. Cleaned it all up the best I could, but the brass is still getting a little green......anyone have any suggestions? I've flushed with Naptha, dried and the sprayed with case lube, but some is still getting funky. don't know if I should toss it all or see what it'll do at the range. I have 5.56 / 270 win / 7mm mag/ 300 win mag/ 380 / 40S&w /357 sig /45ACP /357 mag /and tons of 22long and 22 mag.....oh welll

I never considered it to be as big deal as a lot of folks have made it out to be, since I equate dropping a gun with violating any of the other cardinal rules of gun safety. I own, have owned, and will own more guns that cannot be safely dropped, and I don't consider it to be a deal-breaker, as to whether or not to carry the gun...at least, for me, personally. I do, however, think that Ruger is obliged to make their product come up to the safety standards of the industry, and I like that it does have the 'drop' safety, in case somebody else drops theirs.
