Here's one for ya. Bought a brand new SP-101 .357. First time on the range, the gun repeatedly jammed. Cylinder just locked up tight.
Took it home and found witness marks on floor of frame at bottom dead center where cartridge lips were jamming against the radius at the bottom/rear of the frame!! I relieved the area a little with my dremel tool and polished the area clean. Everything dry fires now fine with the spent shells that were previoiusly jamming. Going to shoot a couple hundred rounds, though, before I carry this piece.
What's happened? Poor Ruger quality control? All I can figure is bad milling on the SS frame of this 101. Never heard of anything so stupid (since my '78 Chevy with the front wheels that rubbed the fender well).
Anybody had a similar problem with the 101?
