[highwayman]

after all the work i put into this pistol to get it to shoot halfway deceit, now it is shaving lead off the bullet into my left shoulder  . when i come back from cozumel i will get a pc or a fa.

[ratgunner]

If you can afford a PC or FA then thats the way to go. You should be happy with either.

I`ve heard alot of complaints about their triggers, but your`s is the first I`ve heard of shaveing lead. There have been several guy buy one after shooting mine, and I have done trigger jobs on acouple of them and they all shot well. Sorry to hear you had to be the 1 in 1,000.

What caliber is it? I may know someone who would be interested?

[SharonAnne]

SB, are you shopping?

[S.B.]

Yes! Since their newer 5 shot SRHs came out, i always thought I'd like to have one in .480?

highwayman, maybe if you contact ruger about your problem,they could help you out or
have you send the gun in for service. good luck , dan

i sent my single six in for lead shaving...  got it back and it looked good....  still haven't shot it yet.  Today maybe.  Sounds good.  I'll let you know.

[highwayman]

hate to say it but aready took the scope off and now it is my bro-in-laws problem now. it just seemed everytime i would get close to hunting with it something else would need to be repaired or replaced. i guess i lost faith in it.

[S.B.]

highwayman, been there done that! Don't ya just hate that, when it happens?

[corbanzo]

Yeah.... the took care of my lead shaving problem... gun is working great now.....

I wish I had a brother who like to "get rid" of rugers....

"Knock on wood" .....Never had a Ruger that had to go back.   Had a Smith that was recalled , sent it in , they sent it back with a "M" stamped near the serial number.....didn't shoot any different, don't remember what the recall was for, been 15-20 years ago.  Had a Colt Trooper MKIII that locked up on me......that was many moons ago also....it was sent in and repaired.  After 30 years of handguns , that's the only two wheel-guns that went sour.  ( recalled isn't fair, I guess )  We won't talk about the semi's, that's a different story. I've had several problems with my T/Cs over the years also.  Given a chance , I truly believe most the manufactures will take care of their problems. ( Taurus may be an exception)  I hope my luck holds out !

i can really associate with what you were going thru with your ruger. i had the same experience with my blackhawk 41 mag. it was a love hate thing. i had one hurdle after the other,and there were times i almost got rid of it, but then i got everything worked out and now it as good a shooter as my other handguns. good luck with your next purchase. dan

If anyone insists on buying a Ruger now, they should look over the gun real good.  They don't really have a Quality Control System in place now and lots of junk gets sent from the factory.  But if you have to send it back they will correct it though. 

Just can't figure out why they don't fix it before it leaves the factory!!!  Was looking over a RBH 50th that had a finish that ws nothing short of disgusting.  I was realy disappointed with them.  Old Bill is really rolling over in his grave.  What a shame.
