My Gold Label (PG stock) fits me well and has given good service over the season that I've used it on game and informal trap. First shot at game got me a wild cock pheasant, a long, difficult shot at that. I've killed grouse, quail, and pheasants since, and a couple of woodies at beaver ponds (plus an unfortunate coyote that was bothering a dairy farmer friend of mine).
The only "complaint" have about it is that it is light for use with heavy loads (I found that out hunting in SW Kansas where the shots on pheasant are LONG and you need to use 4s and 5s). Any sloppy mounting of the gun will get you socked but good (I think my upper right arm still says "Ruger"....and that was in December!). I can't imagine using the 3" mags that it also chambers. Wood on mine is also so pretty that I don't want to cut it, which would be needed to fit a pad--a pullover makes it too long.
Neither of these are legitimate complaints--more like niggling whining. I love the gun; wish they would make a small guage version.
