Ruger sp101 going back for repair or replace?

[rogervzv]

Ruger will take care of you. Something obviously went wrong. Good to hear no one was injured. I'll bet dollars to donuts they replace the gun which will be a little headache for you but likely worth the wait and effort.

This. Ruger ALWAYS does the right thing.

Remington Goldens are good rounds. Don't know what else to say. Please let us all know how it goes.

That didn't take long at all. Ruger called this morning and left a message to call them, they have determined that they will replace the gun at no cost to me.

I just need to pick a gun dealer.

Great customer service.

That happened to my 357 SP101. It was my first revolver and didn't know to check for timing and after a few rounds I got a rude surprise. Good thing I wasn't shooting magnums. I'm really disappointed in Ruger, my friend's SR9C was having issues with the trigger reset and walking pins. None of these guns should've gotten past QC. Their quality isn't what it used to be much like American cars.

And that's why you always buy quality products from known entities. They stand behind their products, be it fly fishing equipment, or firearms. I've yet to be left out in the wind. Good job Ruger!

Ruger like Smith produces millions of weapons and I'm sure they know exactly who inspects each weapon before it goes out. With these kinds of numbers you're going to have some defective issues slip by.

This gun didn't shave lead or lock up or have anything that I would have sent it back for, well the shooting left was probably at the max in manufacturer tolerances but I just didn't want to go to the hassle and expense to complain. Was this part of the cause? Only Ruger knows now. Did the gun go out in an unsafe mode, NO. It shot fine for approx. 400 rds.

Think about it, 30,000 PSI going off in your hand and we don't hear many stories of guns ruining someones day unless it was operator error or a reload.

Ruger gets a 10 of 10 here for customer service.

When I called on Wednesday they said the gun was scheduled to ship to Turners where I originally purchased it that day. I called Turners yesterday for What's Up? and they only take deliveries on Monday from their main distribution center and I'll probably get a call then when they receive it at my store.

The whole process is painless.

A lot of people knock Big 5 but as of right now and 3 phone calls, Turners can't find my .22lr heh heh

Delivered Friday at 9:45 am and signed for Fed Ex.

Maybe I'm not destined to own a .22 Revolver anymore or just my luck?

Received my new gun today. It's really tight, the lock up is amazing. Clearance on forcing cone/cylinder is .007.

I'm now debating whether to leave it NIB or play with it.

Glad to hear Ruger took care of you, I vote go play with it.

Go shoot the danged thing and enjoy.
