My ROA (stainless) is a tack driver compared to my Pietta Remington replica (also stainless). However, the Remington design has easier cylinder removal. The factory ROA adj sights are fine for ball target loads, but try hotter loads, and you'll be shooting high. You'll want to lower the rear and/or raise the front sight.

As far as Ruger having the best metallurgy, I suspect their reputation is the result of their success with cast parts. Ruger guns are designed from the get-go to use precision cast parts. Other gun makers frequently get into trouble trying to substitute parts originally designed to be machined with MIMed ones.
