Recently got my gun back from the factory for repairs. The slide stop spring had worked itself loose from the tab securing it. A common enough problem and an easy fix for Ruger.
The only problem now is that the thumb safety is impossible for me to disengage from the LEFT side. I can engage it with some force, but not disengage it. Engage/disengage function works just fine from the right side and right side only. From what I can tell, something seems to be misaligned, but when you push down from the right side, there seems to be enough leverage to nudge it loose.
I carry my gun with the safety engaged. 99.9% of the time, this is probably fine as I'm right handed, but there have been occassions where I've needed to disengage the safety from the left side. This is why I'm sure this issue didn't exist prior to the factory repairs for the unrelated slide stop spring.
Has anyone else experienced an issue like this?
