Oh my word. I don't even know what to say.
Very sad.
Hope they get it right before they send it back.

Yesterday I got the shipping box from Ruger to return this GP-100. I boxed it up yesterday afternoon and ran it to Fedex. Its on its way back. Im still really just bummed out about this entire deal. Seems like alot of companys are letting the customer do there quality control work for them. Sad

Al, I agree, it's sad. But, it's still made in America. Maybe an email or actual old fashioned letter to the head of customer service might be in order.

Good plan Dave but Im gonna let them have a crack at and see how it returns. If I need to send it back again then I will try an email with my frustrations. I did call them again today and talk to a gentleman that was helpful in getting the return address right that they had wrong. I read good things about there customer service so we shall see.

I am hoping for the best for you Al.

Just got the shipping email from Ruger. They replaced the barrel and ejector in the pistol. Fired 50 rounds through it with no issues. Should have it back Friday as it’s coming 2 day Fedex

I have my fingers crossed for you.

Me, too, Al. My local shop has one of those for sale and, have to say, I really like the feel and balance and everything seems fine with it, but I'm a bit spooked about taking a chance on it. Yours is not the only story I've read about problems with this gun. On the other hand, I don't shoot the 22 revolvers I already have enough, so probably doesn't make sense adding another. One thing about DA Ruger revolvers, though - once you get one running right, you can't wear one out. Hope yours works for you, now. I'm betting it will and that you will love shooting it.

Thanks Dave and NCG. When it in in my hands I will post again on what I think. I remember those days when you could pick up a S&W Model 17 K-22 Masterpiece pull that nice wide hammer back and it was smooth as glass. Those days are gone.

Al, it's kind of sad that so many young shooters don't shoot revolvers now, let alone those vintage revolvers we have known. The shooting world sure has changed a lot over my years of shooting.
