Took it to the range yesterday.
Oh, I bought a 7 round magazine as an additional magazine to the one that came with the pistol.
After the first 50 or so rounds, the gun started to fail to go into battery or fail to eject.
I've never had so many failures and yes, I know how to shoot and what limp wristing is all about. That wasn't the problem. I have other pistols that have never failed me.
I will go through one maybe two more range efforts and if it continues to fail, (it's broken in with approximately 250/300 rounds shot) I'm gonna retire it. It could serve as a paper weight as I wouldn't give this (no, I'd NEVER sell this to anyone) who would use it to defend themselves with.
My ammo ranged from Blazer 115 grain, FMJ to Fiochhi 115 grain (sp?) to Lawman 147 FMJ and HST 147 grain JHP's.
My Glock 19's will fire all of the above without a hiccup.
My estimation of this pistol is: Don't carry it for self defense as it's unreliable.
I bought it because I thought: Light, dependable, certain that all the reviews could be depended on. I wanted a sub-compact for house and yard carry.
What my experience is: It often fails to go into battery or fails to eject and on and on and on.
You get what you pay for...
As stated earlier, if it continues to fail, (it's already been sent back to Ruger for other problems) I'll retire it, and buy a Glock 43.
Glocks are dependable.
I have 2 that have never failed to perform, ever.
Ruger's quality is dismal...
