I had a chance to test one early this year from a ruger rep! nice gun and iam not a big ruger semi auto fan! but it wasnt clunky it was quite nice, trigger was good sights were ok gun felt good in the hand and was pretty reliable! i only got to run 1100rnds through it but had 2 or 3 faliures to feed. and one of those from handloads! overall nice gun slick safty not like the old one! i love the xd line of guns and they are very good me i would lean on the xd but it fits my hand better!
