"...the crazy heavy trigger pull..." That's normal for any new handgun. The assorted MBA's running Ruger(and all the other manufacturers.) are terrified of law suits. Hence the heavy triggers.
Dry firing it does not fix it either. Dry firing just puts wear on the parts. Do or have done a proper trigger job. Had my 4" GP since they first came to Canada in the mid 80's. The triggers are not difficult to fix.
"...Are these..." There is no grip 'frame' on a GP like a Smith. The barrels and "frames" are steel, that is not polished in any way, and has some kind of paint-like coating that is eaten by vinegar. Made a holster years ago using home made vinegar based leather dye) Real bluing it ain't. The barrel steel looks like particle board without the finish.
"...what is the difference..." Mostly the grip frame, but most GP's have the under barrel lug too.
