...or the take down latch breaking, or the barrel screws coming loose?
I've owned two and IMO, the SR22 is not their best effort.
I remember a long thread here shortly after they were released on the front sight :?:SGW Gunsmith said:57springer said:Did Ruger ever fix the front sight issues ? The sights just fell off if I recall ?
I haven't read about or encountered that specific issue. While the front sight is indeed plastic, the base is dovetailed into place, so the only means whereby it can come out is either to the right or left. Plastic sights are just one of those things that make a little bit of breakfast come back up and onto my tongue.
There was an issue with the first series run of the SR22 pistols where the take-down latch was breaking off, but that was rectified long ago.

I have a ruger LCR 22 that I don't shoot as well, not as accurate from my experience. But lightweight, heavy trigger.
