Wow I did not know that thanks for the info. Only the second Ruger I've ever bought. First one I bought 40 years ago at a yard sale, didn't have a box. Mini-14 .223 stainless ranch rifle $250They’ve been putting those cards in Ruger boxes for probably close to 50 years.
They used to run full page ads in outdoor magazines.
Trying to avoid lawsuits.
Yes, there is a recall on the old models that don’t have the transfer bar. They supposedly can go off if dropped. Supposed to carry those with the hammer on an empty cylinder.Wow I did not know that thanks for the info. Only the second Ruger I've ever bought.

I think it’s the myth (that just won’t die, thanks to the interweb) that the transfer bar interferes with the trigger mechanism and therefore you cannot get the smoothest possible action job.Funny thing is the orginal " death trap" models command a premium.
Anything that goes against Safety concerns A gunsmith or any professional person cannot give you His true opinion So don't even ask. I will not address the safety aspect of the 2 either. But As far as the myth, from my experience The 3 screw model Ruger as well as the older Colt single action Do have a better trigger straight out of the box. How many did you compare side by side to form your opinion? The newer guns with transfer bar Still have excellent triggers And I'm sure a good gunsmith could make it even better.I think it’s the myth (that just won’t die, thanks to the interweb) that the transfer bar interferes with the trigger mechanism and therefore you cannot get the smoothest possible action job.
I‘ve had dozens of opportunities to buy old three screw models over the years and simply prefer the newer models with transfer bars. Never had a competent gun smith tell me I was mistaken.
Notice I said “competent.”
