Bought 3 Rugers. 2 are going back.

[2Wheels4Ever]

Anyone else having issues with new Rugers? I just got a Wrangler and a LCP Max out of BGC wait-list jail, and neither of them work. The wrangler would get locked up so badly I never even shot it, and the LCP Max can't make it through a single mag without a failure to feed.

At least their customer service is good.

Purchased two Wranglers in the last year and both work great.

Their customer service is top notch so hopefully they take care of you.

Try different ammo.

In the LCP Max? I figured after 4 different brands of ammo, it was probably a gun issue. My LCP II eats anything.

I just got two as well. One is great, the other, not so much.

My wife's Wrangler has one cylinder that's too deep for the firing pin. I keep forgetting to call and get an RMA.

One of my Wranglers had a tight cylinder that wouldn't rotate freely, had a tendency to bind up. I called and talked to someone at Ruger, and they ended up sending a new cylinder. It worked great and I didn't need to go through the hassle of sending it in.

why would some ammo work in a gun and not in another?

I have had a Wrangler since they first came out used any and all ammo no issues ! I did find the action a bit crunchy and lubed the shiznet out of it with some quality oil definitely one of my favorite little 22's and hella fun to fan fire !

It happens. Tolerance issues on either side generally.

 

[Koda]

It happens. Often.

none of mine are sensitive to brands of ammo so its hard to grasp this.

I've had to send every new Ruger back due to fit and finish issues or QC problems. They've all been solid once looked over and repaired, but I always assume a new Ruger will need work before it's perfect. That reminds me, I need to send back my MKIV, the extractor is peening and chipping away its notch...

Ruger has excellent customer service and won't ask too many questions because they know they're sending out products that aren't as good as they should be.

All of my MK series pistols no issues just keep them clean !

Different bullet weights, powder charge and type, and over all length.

Brand new Ruger MK IV Tactical run 2-300 round subsonic suppressed could not be happier the thing is a work of art and push button take down jeeze !

Yep, I remember cleaning day before the MKIV came along... it was a long process. I love Ruger and own many. Most had minor issues but issues nonetheless.

why would a gun be designed to only shoot a specific load? Isnt all ammo loaded to saami specifications?

Yea like there is a 22 lr and a 22 hd lol

Small semi autos can be finicky with certain types of ammo, in particular when they are new. That is reason why people with a clue "break-in" their pistols before trusting their life to it.
