for UPS to pick it up tomorrow. We'll see what they do.

I'm always for sending it back. Make Ruger make it (reply)

right. Best for you, best for them, best for the rest of us as it helps them improve the product and production QC.

Ejector rod unscrewing? (reply)

I think with the GP100's and Redhawks that's no longer possible. I'm not familiar enough with the Security Six to know if they are more like a Smith, but the ejector on the newer guns doesn't rotate and it takes a special tool to remove them IIRC. Its kinda off topic...well, very off topic, but I sure wish Ruger, or someone, would make a set of stocks for the GP100 like like the Security Six had.

I had a Security Six that did that. Even the distance of a half turn on the threads would bind it up.

GP100 problem

My new (200 rounds) Ruger GP100 has a problem: Seems that sometimes the cylinder will bind up upon closing the cylinder into the frame, with our without ammo, and will not completely close. If I force it (thumb pressure, not a hammer), it will close but will not rotate. If I clean the area behind the star, it will work for about 10-15 rounds and then start binding again. The gun was very tight from the box and I thought it would loosen up, but rather, this problem appeared. My Range Master and I agree it appears the recoil shield area against which the star rests appears proud of the surrounding metal, which might be the problem. The Range Master suggested I send it back to Ruger but I hate to do that. Andy Horvath is just up the road and I'm tempted to have him fix it. Comments/suggestions ?
