After some help with information here, I went to a gun shop to buy a new Ruger P345 Blued pistol.
Had a deal made for $400 out the door.
Drove up there, and looked it over, worked the slide, etc. and liked it..
Was ready to start filling out the paperwork, and went to drop the clip....no go..I mean stuck like it was glued..
Kept dinking around, and finally using a knife to gently pry a bit got it to pop out..
Repeated attempts showed the same.. so after several attempts to see what was wrong I said no deal..
Turns out I know the guy that was working in the shop.. so we kept on trying to figure it out..
After about 1/2 hour, plus another guy coming and helping we figured it out.
The red Ruger round emblems on both sides of the grip were pressed in way to deep on the both grips, leaving the round tips sticking out about 1/16th of an inch into both sides...
Also looked like some other stuff was not really right either..
Bad bad thing..
Ended up buying a P345 Stainless out the door for $440 plus a free box of .45 shells.
Will follow up with my friend to see what is done about it...My suggestion was to dremmel them off, to see if it will work properly, then sell it a big discount with no warranty.. (Obviously revealing what was done)
Any one else seen this ??
