Uhh......funny, I just bought one of them Rugers. Nice pistol, lots of fun with a can. Nice finish, nice price. It came with a top and bottom rail installed, 5 rail mounting screws total installed. I think they are 4-40 UNF. I don't want anything on the rails, or the rails themselves, so I removed them. Gonna use open/iron sights. I saw somewhere on the webz that if you e-mailed Ruger customer service, they would send you blued filler screws. So, I e-mailed them. It required a little bit of hoop jumping, but not bad. Couple of weeks later (Thanksgiving and what not) I receive a package from Ruger.
3. fukkin'. screws........
Now, I have to e-mail them once again, probably will have to get on bended knee and beg for 2 more filler screws......Ruger; For God's sake, how much could it possibly cost to just include 5 filler screws in the original box with the pistol ? FFS, charge a dollar more for the pistol and include the damn filler screws........:rolleyes:
Flip side is the take down and re-assembly nightmare from previous versions has been very nicely solved with this version, so I'll swallow my tongue about the filler screws......No, wait !........

The best way to get to know someone is to work with them.

I completely agree, the best friends I've ever met, and the best lovers I've ever had, were ones I met through working on a project together that we were both passionate about.

However, NOT dating coworkers at a job that I am not passionate about and am there just to make money, is a cardinal rule for me.

I highly recommend going to Pearl Harbor for anyone that hasn't. Very powerful and moving. I was able to meet one of the survivors there in 2012. Worth the effort to see.

I was there in ‘04. I waited in line 45 minutes just to get in the gate. A woman in line behind us was complaining that it was her husbands idea and she would rather be shopping. But she supposed it was the American thing to do. I turned around and looked at her at the same time my wife is telling me to just keep my mouth shut.
It was very frustrating to wait 3-4 hours to get on the dingy to cross the harbor but then to be told before I’m even off the damn thing that our boat was leaving in ten minutes. I asked the captain how the hell Do you pay your respects to these men I’m 10 minutes or less... VERY Touching though. God Rest Their Souls.
 
How do you go from this:


To this in the very next post???

This will be the first year since WWII that there will be no survivors of Pearl Harbor attending the ceremonies remembering those who died in the attacks on December 7th 1941.
