The insert is held by two cross pins at the front and rear of the frame. This metal frame insert provides a base to contain various operating parts, including slide rails. These inward curves abut matching tapered edges at the top of the frame. The slide is nicely tapered at its muzzle and along its bottom edges. Eight wide diagonal grasping grooves occupy almost all the space on the slide from the rear of the ejection port to the back of the forward angled rear of the slide.

A pivoting external extractor is located at the lower right rear of the port. A passive firing pin safety is also in the slide.

The “why” of this wellspring of demand for such a lightweight pocket pistol far exceeds the space allotted here, but suffice to say there was and still is an itch, and Ruger (along with other handgun manufacturers) is supplying the scratch.
