Well, you just expect the firearm to work perfectly 100% of the time with any ammo and shoot .25" groups at 100 yards. If they don't, then you have a right to complain.
My Rugers have been pretty good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. |

There seems to be a trend here. Most guns that are manufactured in Prescott, AZ (semi-autos) seem to get a lot of complaints. Products built in Southport (Revolvers) are apparently as good or better than ever.
rman, let me explain the reason for this. I have lived here in Prescott for over 25 years. I think it is in the water and the altitude. Old people appear all over the place and maybe that is all Ruger can find out here. I looked in the mirror the other day and some old looking fart was looking back at me. I know this could be the water cause I'm sure I didn't look like that a week ago!! OR... it could be the altitude. We have some light headed people up here but it is 5000 ft high so you have to expect some strange things to happen. Why I remember just the other day......no I don't....what were we talking about? Geeeze I need another glass of water.

I still love Rugers. I guess all mfgrs have problems now and then. I'll still keep buying them when they come out with something I need(?)

Some good valid comments above. I spend a lot of time on the Rugerforum.com answering gunsmithing questions as "Pinecone". It seems you have two kinds of so called "gunsmiths" on the forums. People who have actually worked on guns, and people who have "read" about "others" working on guns! (The Experts)! I don't claim to be an expert on firearms but simply give my "experience" from working guns for 45+ years. People can take my advice or leave it. Makes no difference to me. I take a lot of flak from the "know-it-alls" on that forum. Just a fact of life. Some people will try to sell their mother an Edsel and argue with her until she accepts it! Not very hard to separate the "wheat from the chaff"! I don't believe any factory would consciously put out defective items that could be a vital "safety" issue to the owner/user. They would be out of business pretty quick as we have seen some smaller gun makers go! However guns do show up with manufacturing/engineering glitches that simply were overlooked during design or manufacture. Ruger is very good at correcting issues with it's customers. Hope that stays the same now that Big Bill is gone and the family pretty much out of it now. Also do know that decisions get made in Board Rooms that simply look at their bottom line only, "profit"!

If I recall correctly, I've had problems with one new Ruger out of dozens, 2 with S&W out of dozens and 1 Taurus out of a bunch. I believe that the Taurus problem was self-inflicted - faulty reassembly on my part. Oh yeah, and a Jennings .22 pocket auto. That one was hopeless, but what do expect for less than 50 bucks?
