Anybody else have the short guide rod issue with their SR45? Mine is about .150" short, just enough to let it flop around, requiring the pistol be reassembled upside down. I ordered a new spring from Galloway and am going to turn a new stainless replacement on my lathe. Just curious if Ruger had addressed the issue yet.

I used to own a SR45 that did the exact same thing (loose guide rod). It caused no problem on the functioning however. I did like the SR45 but ended up trading it. Again, it functioned perfectly the whole time I owned it. I just assumed it was designed that way and didn't worry about it. Good luck.

I'm seriously about ready to trade mine off due to the simple lack of accessories. Everybody got a hard on for the RAP and put out every accessory for them but an optional noise picker. The SR45 basically got snubbed by everybody. It's kinda pissing me off!!
