Picked it up today and went up to the family "farm" to test it out. 50 rounds of Speer "Lawman" 124gr TMJ = ZERO malfunctions.
First round actually surprised me due to the trigger pull being so light.
Was mainly just testing function, and was using and anthill for a target.
Also mixed in a couple of +P+ Hydra-shoks and +P 124gr HSTs. It functioned and fed them just fine.
No for the couple of "Cons" I found with it:
The safety, It's hard to engage
The slide lock. Being a 1911 guy, I'm used to slapping a mag in and thumbing down the slide lock to load... NOT with this one. I can engage it, but I can't disengage it with my thumb, I could even using my entire left hand.
Video of the first 8 through it will be posted as soon as I get it uploaded to youtube

Here it is with my PM40 on top of it. If you look close, you can see the Ruger's slightly longer, front to back and with the finger groove extension on the mag, it's slightly longer there as well. However it's CLOSE
