The poster probably is the guy in the video trying to promote it.

Just a guess.

Don't really care one way or the other.

Signed.

Pathetic poster Louie



PS I just noticed he/she/it is from the San Francisco area; home of Nancy Pelosi. That explains a LOT! LOL!

I'm one of the people who had the "dynamic disassembly" issue.

I bought my SR22P about 4 or 5 months ago. I read and heard that the sig mosquito and walther P22 were lesser guns so I went with the Ruger. I really like Rugers and have a couple MkIIs, a MkIII, and a couple 10/22s. A brother has a P89 (I think it is). All are great guns.

We were shooting from a table and a friend was shooting the SR22. I saw the slide fly forward, spring and rod going with it. So I inspected the parts and didn't notice anything broken - only that the takedown lever was depressed. He had his thumbs along that side and I asked him if maybe he had inadvertantly depressed (he has big hands) the takedown lever between shots - he said he didn't know/didn't think so. I reassembed it and fired it while holding it on the other side of a tree. Same thing.

Upon closer inspection the takedown lever (part no. 36 in the diagram - I think it is) was broken in half horizontally.

I called Ruger, they emailed me a shipping label, I sent it out on a Tuesday and had a repaired gun back in my hand by Friday of the same week. Note said they replaced the take-down lever, slide and test-fired it.

Unlike the few people who may be hyperventilating about the issue; I didn't really think it was any big deal. The slide only retracts to the takedown position and then, because the spring is pushing it forward, flies off the gun - to the front, away from the shooter, direction.

My experience would not in any way prevent me from purchasing another Ruger.

That's my 2 cents.

Edit: we actually found the broken off piece of the takedown lever on the table. I sent the broken-off piece back to Ruger too.

I would consider the SR22 a solid gun. Mine has been nothing short of awesome. That said, there's bound to be a bad apples. Call his single SR22 a POS? I guess you could, which would be fitting because they were made for one another.

IT was not even his. My whole point is that he is wanting us to agree it is a POS based an a you tube video, and would we have bought ours if we had seen the you tube video. I don't pay any attention to you tube videos as many are fake or staged, and it is not fair to Ruger to base opinion of many thousands of guns on a few with problems. There are going to be some issues with any gun, and certainly with new models. If they fix them when the problem shows up, and it appears they are doing that, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

It would be really interesting to know how many individual pistols are tested and how many rounds are fired before the design is OK'd for production. It's hard to imagine these issues don't show up during testing.

louie, hardcore Ruger guys will give the benefit of the doubt, others maybe not so much.

I'm about to trade a perfectly functioning Walther P22 for one of these Ruger POS pistols

Maybe you should hold on to that P22 . . . according to the internet, you have a rare "perfectly functioning" sample

Sorry, couldn't resist lol.

If I have a P22, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a SR22.

I bought my SR22P in May and have been 100% satisfied. I recognize that I'm still in a honeymoon period with it, but I've been impressed with glowing on-line reviews from folks I respect.

The pistol is well balanced, light and incredibly accurate. and, it looks good!

My advice, if you have a doubt about it - buy something else. There are plenty of excellent competitors out there. No amount of rhetoric from others should sway you.

Good luck!

Hey, by all means, if you have any doubts about the SR22, then feel free to buy something else!

That's why the SR22P is the only polymer gun on the planet right now that's suffering from production shortages. They can't make them fast enough to fill all the orders - because one bozo posted a youtube video.

Yea, sure, go have fun with that P22 or that Sig Mosquito.... Let us know how that works out for you.

Edit: I do not mean to disparage the P22 or Sig. I hear they are good guns. But, hey, this is a Ruger forum. So I think I'm within the accepted standards by saying that I think the SR22P is the best of the lot. Again, no harm intended. If I offended anybody, then I do apologize. Everybody should get to be happy with their personal firearm selection.

My P22 has been very good. After the first couple hundred rounds, it has been dead reliable. It ain't a target pistol but a fun plinker. The Ruger looks to be a better gun all the way around. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I didn't already have the Walther.

Mine has been trouble free as well after some break-in and some polishing here and there.

But it ain't a Ruger

I know. I have the same feelings about the Glocks in 40 cal. They are too damn dangerous with all of the KB's they've had. I really think the government needs to do something about it. They should protect us from these these crappy manufacturers pushing these dangerous guns on us. And they're not cheap, so we are being overcharged too! SOMETHING must be done! Obama help us!!!!




That said, stuff breaks. It happens, and especially so with a new design. Ruger stands behind their product, and will take care of it.

The second and third video seems to show a problem with the takedown lever. I am not sure that this indicates any sort of epidemic.

From what I can tell, the first video showing a problem with the takedown lever. It could be showing a problem with CCI Stingers. It could also be an issue where the hammer was released before the slide was fully forward (which would have only happened if the shooter was shooting rapid fire.

I had a prior history with Ruger, a horror story involving a GP100 that was too awful to fix - Ruger took over a year getting a replacement to me, and that one wouldn't shoot straight - a lot of expensive gunsmithing to get it right. Worst story I've heard of involving Ruger. I had resolved never to do business with them again, directly or indirectly (and, btw, I own 2 GP100's, a PC9, and a 10/22). I'd had a Mark III, but it always took me two hours to put it back together after cleaning, so I traded that one off.

So, very recently, I was in the market for a .22LR semiauto pistol. I'd narrowed it down to the SR22 and a Bersa model. Price was about the same, in what I consider the "cheap" category. I finally went with the Ruger because I understand it's hard to get parts for the Argentinian Bersa. Most retail stores, even those that sell Bersa, don't even stock the magazines. So I bit my lip, hoped for the best, and bought the SR22.

I was very pleasantly surprised. I think they've taken some of the best features of the 10/22 action and that of the Mark III and combined them in the SR22. I like the replacement rubber grip stocks and magazine baseplates that allow you to customize the gun to fit your hand, included in the box. I've put about four hundred rounds through it with one misfire, which I put down to bad primer, and one FTL, using Federal bulk box, American Eagle, and Remington Viper, all copper plated. My only complaint, which I took as par for the "cheap gun" course is that the trigger pull feels a little like it's being dragged through sandpaper. Very slight annoyance. Overall, very accurate, and remarkably fun to shoot. I really got it just for fun, anyway, to kill vicious soda cans and evil paper targets in the side yard.

Got my SR22p on Feb. 8, 2012, it is one of the earliest ones and it has performed perfect so far and i am completely happy with it. There may be a few of them with problems, but they are far from being a POS, everyone who has shot my Sr22p has had nothing but praise for it.
