The gun also had a Tactacle Solutions PC lite fluted barrel with a Allchin custom comp. on the front.
So after a out 7000 rounds the firing pint and ejector broke during the third stage of a Steel Challenge match.
When I spoke to a friend at Ruger he said it was due to constant dropping of the firing pin on an empty chamber.
I ordered a competition bolt from Volquartsen ( has a stronger firing pin than stock) and I am in the process of getting it set up as my back up gun.
The 41 came my way and I decided to move it into the prime number 1 slot.

Well that is my story and I am sticking to it.
