The pistol is fitted with replaceable checkered wood laminate grips featuring Ruger medallions and includes an additional set of black rubber finger-groove wrap-around grips. A Picatinny-style optic rail is mounted to the top of the receiver, which also retains its factory adjustable target rear sight and fixed front blade sight.

The right side of the receiver bears the serial number 274-31083, which published Ruger references associate with 2014 production. The underside of the barrel contains the standard Sturm, Ruger & Co. manufacturer’s warning and address markings.

Condition report:
The pistol is in excellent overall condition, retaining a high percentage of its original blued finish with only minimal signs of handling wear or thinning at the muzzle. The polymer frame is well-preserved with sharp texturing. The checkered wood laminate grips are attractive and free of significant dings or chips. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly, and the magazines seat and release as intended, though mechanical function has not been live-fire tested. The original plastic case and accompanying documentation show minimal shelf wear.
