Mixed feelings
« on: February 26, 2014, 09:17:50 AM »
Yesterday was the first time I was at the range after my back surgery.I needed to try out my Ruger SR45 since I sent it back to Ruger for warranty work because of light primer strikes and was appaled.Sliding the slide back the take down pin falls out,then the upper pin holding the fire control group falls out and on top of that the slide wasn't locking back after the last round.The gun is actually worse than when I sent it in.After I finish this post I'm off to ship it back.I know every firearm producer spits out a lemon everyonce in a while no matter how good they are and I think this SR45 is one.I've been a big Ruger fan for a lot of years and I'm sure they will make it right,their costomer service is top notch.Now the wait begins.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

That's a sinking feeling.  Especially if you're a Ruger fan.


Mixed feelings?   That's when your teen-aged daughter stays out all night, but comes home in the morning clutching a Gideon Bible.

That one is more like getting kicked in the stomach.  I'm glad I don't have daughters...I can only imagine and I don't like it.

Got it back Friday and went to the range today.I put 75 rounds through it and all seems well except one mag isn't letting the slide lock back after the last round so I promptly called them back and gave them a status report.Ruger is sending me a new mag and a prepaid envelope to send the offending mag back.I also called FNH because of the same problem,mailed it back today and they are sending a replacement for my FNP9M.

At least there will be more men-er... males around.  Right now I'm hopelessly out numbered.  Which reminds me I need to order some boolit casting equipment pretty quick  ;D
