Well, my Mark IV Competition arrived Friday and yesterday, I found time to clean and lubricate it. Unfortunately, handling it just that little bit showed me that the Ruger's grip frame angle causes discomfort in my arthritic wrist. I should have known that would happen because I had to change the grip on my Precision Rifle to one with a 1911 angle for the same reason.

So the Competition will probably be up for sale and life will go on. It's a shame for the gun appears well-made and is attractive.
