Yes, they did. Now the springs won't break, but it still will shoot loose faster several by several orders of magnitude than the S&W with heavy magnum loads.

Don't confuse shooters with collectors.
And exactly when are you gona need those heavy magnum loads? Home Defense??? For the general public it is shooting range or plinking in the desert...so light 357 or 38 spl rounds will be fine. And if perchanch one is doing some serious target shooting light loads are the order of the day anyway.

So what is the intended shooting purpose for the pistol in question is more appropriate...

If I am going to Alaska I would take a Ruger cause if I lose it, drop it in the muck or run over with a truck...WHO CARES...and who cares about the smoothness of the action under those circumstances....just so long as it goes bang at the right time.
