Not really worried, but, concerned...I have a Ruger Match Champion, which I really like. One minor(?) problem tho. The hammer pin backs out during firing and dry fire. The grip keeps it from moving far, but, I would like to know if this "just happens" for the GP 100 series and other Ruger revolvers?
Please, no "send it back to the factory" answers, unless that truly is the only correction for a real problem! I had a Wiley Clapp Talo GP 100 that I was just beginning to like, and it had the same problem. I talked to a customer service rep, who sent a mailing label, and I returned it.
Then I got a phone call from Ruger, saying the technician had written on the inspection sheet "Replace the gun". No reason. Soooo, they sent me the Match Champion...another FFL transfer fee. I just don't want to repeat the scenario, if it is only a minor irritation.
The customer service rep I talked to earlier this week said he didn't think that was "normal" and is sending me a new hammer pin, to see if that will correct the problem.
Opinions/advice, please.
