Ok, this is my first post and I figured before I got into my issue I needed to start with an apology to Ruger and Ruger users. For over 10 years I have been sworn off this manufacturer due to a bad experience a while back. I had bought a 9mm (P89 or something?) back in the late 90's and it was miserable. Not going to get into that but it left a bad taste in my mouth and I have never touched one since... Until recently. I must admit I was wrong! A LGS had put a .45 1911 in my hand which seems like one hell of a gun. Then last week while out shopping for a new 9mm (was pretty well set on either a Glock or FNH) the dealer put the SR9c in my hand and almost instantly I loved it. I looked it over and "played" with it for a few minutes and figured I'd give it a try. While filling out paperwork the dealer knew I was looking for a .22 to get me kids started with and handed me the SR22... Yep, bought it too! Got to go shoot yesterday and these are two of the nicest shooters I've ever had. I need to play with the sights on the SR9c as it seems to be shooting high and left by a few inches but otherwise was flawless.
Which brings me to my issue/question. As nice as it shoots, I was having a few issues with the SR22 failing to extract. I found a number of various posts around the Internet on different forums, most of which were from over a year ago, with people having similar issues. It's funny because there didn't seem to be anyone in the middle, it was either "mine eats everything" or they were failing to extract or load. Is this gun that picky on ammo or is it just that I need to shoot a lot more through it first? The copper jacketed loads were fine but the lead tipped Federal's were the main culprit. I've never had this happen before, should I be thinking about sending it in to Ruger? I'd really hate to because this thing shoots like a dream... I hate to sound cliche but its a tack driver!
Thoughts?
