Ruger SR22

[Dirtbikindad393]

Ok so I have been looking at these talking to people that own them and they love them. But now I am running across many that have had the part above the trigger break and they have tio send them back for repair. One guy says it happened 75 rounds into it another 200 rounds into it. I am on the fence now about buying this gun if I can ever find one.

Anybody have this problem with their SR22?

Shot over 1000 rounds through mine. No problems at all. I take good care of it though. After every range session I clean it. Just make sure when putting the guide rod and spring back in, make sure the spring is on the guide rod correctly. It has to go on so the narrow end goes into the hole. Take care of it and it should last you a good loong time IMO.

ruger sr22

Ran about 500 rounds w no problems except for a few light primer strikes which was due to a bad batch of federal bulk. After i changed out the ammo w a fresh box there were no problems.photo[1].JPG

Put a deposit on mine today, hope turners doesn't make me wait too long. I was watching videos on YouTube of people taking the slide off and everyone did it differently that the ruger CEO did. I wonder if that is what's giving some people the few problems I've read about.

I just picked mine up today. One of the mags seems like it is too fat. I have to sort of force it up and then physically pull it out. The other one works great. Shame on me for not trying both mags when doing safe handling demo. Anyone else have this problem? I plan on calling the shop first to see if they can do anything. They may just refer me to Ruger, tho.

Odd, I never had to do the safe handling demo, even when I did the HSC test. o_O

I also put the larger grip on (feels better, even with my tiny hands) and didn't seem to notice any problems with the mags. Put some rounds through it over the weekend (don't remember how many, 200ish?), fun little plinker.

Regarding the grip...the manual shows a picture of the guy almost trying to break the gun in half to take the small grip off....works a lot better if you just pull straight down on it.

I guess it depends on where you go. That was the second time I've ever had to do the safe handling demo. No big deal... Takes about 1.5 minutes. My grips changed out pretty easy. Just a little concerned about the mag problem. I'll go shoot it this weekend.

I am at 1200 rounds with my SR22P and it is still running great. A little abrasion of the slide from rubbing, but no damage and no sweat so far. It seems to be a great little gun--accurate, reliable, and fun!

As you say, if it breaks, it goes back to Ruger but so far no sign of this.

Yeah I am kind of feeling the same way. So many people have talked such good things about it I really want one to teach my 10 yr old granddaughter and my sons girlfriend how to shoot. Not be alarmed my grandaughters parents have ok'd for her to learn.

The same failure steered me away from the SR22. I ended up picking a 22/45 because:
1. It'll eat even cheap bulk ammo and;
2. Reliability.

SR22 looks 10 times better though.
