Did you find out what went wrong? Seems like maybe there's some gunk in the action?

the good thing about ruger is that if you send it back to them, they'll probably fix it for free

I hope its not broke as I really have found I like to shoot 357 magnum, and I don't like to chase my brass all over the floor.

I do think it has something to do with this...I found this on a ruger forum and it sounds about right...time will tell. I don't think you can really break a security six, the thing IS the brick shti house when it comes to revolvers.

From the ruger forum...

Just wanted to update my post.. She's fixed and shoots like a new one !!!!!
Called Ruger and had them send me a cylinder center pin spring, cylinder center pin rod, and an ejector rod washer. Which they did, free of charge I might add !
Installed them and took her out and problems gone. I'm a happy camper !
Thanks for all the ideas and help, much appreciated !

might be gunk in the action. I had a bullet jump the crimp in my 500 and powder spilled all over the place. It was under the extractor and was making it stick out too far so it would lock up super tight. I cracked it open with a hammer and racked my brain for a week since nothing was obviously wrong.

A little bit of gunk in the weirdest places will make these things completely screwed for some reason.

It works now but still not as good as new, theres parts i just cant get to with my gunsmithing knowledge.

Dont know where this myth about revolvers being more dependable comes from, they are extremely delicate machines, even dropping one the wrong way could destroy it.

I think its because you can't limp wrist a revolver .

Always a prikc in the crowd...

[knucklehead0202]

i'd bet it's mostly been shot with .38 special rather than .357 and has a ring built up in the chambers. once it warms up, the long .357s kinda stick to that ring and if they set back a little on firing, make it difficult to turn the cylinder with the hammer or trigger. my 686 did this as i fired pretty much nothing but .38 through it for a long time. clean the chambers with a brush and you should be fine. if that's not it, it's probably that other thing...

that's funny right there.

I do remember those days when revolver being more reliable was the popular opinion. I was just saying this the other day. A gun is a gun and every generation (of firearm evolution) will have 'opinions' about what's best that becomes crap/myth 10, 15 or 20 years later.

Enjoy whatever you choose but don't be fooled by slogans, commercials and internet 'experts'.

[huckberry668]

BTW, in my experience my S&W 686, 10 are the most reliable handguns I have. I have not shot any autoloaders more than my 686 & 10. the 686 of mine was used and I put about 7k rounds (38spl pressure) thru the Krieger barrel and absolutely no breakage/stoppage due to mechanical issues. the model 10 PPC gun has about 5k rounds thru the Douglas barrel and it has no mechanical failures either. Never locked up, no internal parts ever broke.

No, especially in the new america, where everyone has to be careful picking up the soap!!

Critical thinking goes a long way in life...in guns, politics, and in dating.

[huckberry668]

Not sure what you're saying no to.

[bubbapug1]

Sorry, I am saying no, you can't listen to all of the propaganda out there, and that is exactly what 98% of it is. There is very little in the way of pure facts that makes it to the surface in the pot of crap the media outlets serve up every single day. Add that to the marketing hype and distortions on the truth which madison avenue adds to the mix and its no wonder the country is such a mess...turn off the TV and think while surfing the internet and you have half a chance not to blow up your life due to poor choices based on poor inputs.

It will NEVER happen.

But that has nothing to do with me breaking my gun other than I bought into the revolvers are simple therefore indestructable myth....and it is a myth.

[gorenut]

I always had it in my head that while revolvers are more "reliable" by virtue of it being simpler to operate and less parts the user can readily just take out... when things do go bad, its far worse than a semi. With a semi, the usual malfunction is cleared by just racking the slide. With a revolver, seems like you gotta pretty much gut the thing.

Also agree with Dark Mod. Might not even be broke but just gunk or not enough lubrication in certain areas. I had a GP100 that had a similar issue you're describing. Cleaning the insides and using proper lube freed everything up and it functioned flawlessly since.
