If there's no box or end label to show the model number, you can look up the serial number on Ruger's site and it will tell you which model it shipped as.

Is the extractor hook in good shape? If so, the ejector is the next thing to look at... your pic looks like one of those is at fault. The extractor has to hold the brass tight to the breech face until the case hits the ejector on the opposite side and that forces it to flip out of the ejection...

The model 3855 comes with two 10 round magazines.

Most of mine have a Volquartsen target hammer in place of the original. Great product, in my guns.

I picked up one of the 75th Anniversary models myself today. The stainless slide is nicely finished. Was impossible to resist at $255 ($270 otd)

Yes, they do, on both Ruger and Glock mags

I actually like it better for a field gun than the all black I owned before this.

Two is one...

I'm confused, it got stuck going from the breech towards the muzzle, why would you want to tap it in the same direction?

Found the Ruger with the green digi-cam stock on sale for $480... very tempted! :D

Personally, I'm much faster with 'front sight press'. It's the 'see dot' part which slows me down. Mine don't naturally come up in my line of vision. I'm sure that can be overcome with lots of practice, but I honestly don't have the time these days.

Remove the trigger group, bolt catch is part of that... make sure pin holding bolt catch and mag plunger is present, as well as the pin at the top which holds ejector and tensions bolt catch spring.

Well, my third one is at the LGS waiting for me... hopefully it works as well as the other two. Two is one, and one is none... and three? Probably a bit overboard, but for $260... these days, I think it's a bargain.

.45 ACP doesn't have enough pressure to make comps effective... part of the reason .38 Super took over USPSA and IPSC comps way back in the late 70s, early 80s.

That doesn't suck. :D
