Ruger Redhawk
Single-Sixer
I hate to sound like a broken record and I know I've posted allot about my LCPII with the safety concerns and the different issues with it. This LCPII makes the 4th brand new Ruger being replaced in the last couple of years. No I haven't had the best luck with Ruger lately.
As many may remember this particular gun went back to Prescott not much after I got it because the trigger wouldn't reset. I had mentioned how hard it was to un-chamber a live round while they had it. The chambered round working the slide to un-chamber it the base of the cartridge case was catching on the extractor and the tip of the projectile was getting jammed in the top right hand corner of the ejection port. I had to physically pry the extractor off the cases base. Ruger is aware of that and apparently nothing can or will be done about that. They gave their suggestions to make easier when I was on the phone with them about the TD Pin walking. I never had another issue with the trigger not resetting once it made it's first trip back.
Okay last week it made a 2nd trip back to Prescott. The take down pin was walking out. I tried a couple different Ruger pins and the Tandemkross TD Pin with the same results. I can just see that pin walking completely out not noticing it and the slide comes back at you like a Missile.
Then I mentioned there was minimal play or looseness in the slide with a rocking back and forth movement and also some up and down slide movement by the muzzle when un-cocked but it becomes excessive when it's cocked.
I got a email from Prescott this morning after an in-valuation they are replacing this LCPII. I had to give authorization by filling out the email she sent.
Not much to it. Initial and a few Yes's . I was told or recommended to forward that email to the receiving dealer. I called them first so they were aware of it then I sent the forwarded email.
I wanted a LCP Custom then they were discontinued after waiting for 5 months or so and wondering why they couldn't get the Custom.
I asked this morning in the reply email if they possibly had a new Custom LCP I'd rather have it instead of the LCPII. Again I told my concerns about the fully cocked hammer with a chambered round with nothing more than a trigger blade safety. I mentioned that I also had paid quite a bit more for the LCPII then what the Customs were selling for before the were discontinued. I know I'd feel allot safer carrying the Custom then the supposedly new and improved LCPII even if I take a beating with the difference in price. I doubt they have any Customs left but it didn't hurt to ask.It would be nice if they do have a Custom and throw in a couple magazines for the price difference.
I asked for a time frame not that I'm in a hurry. I had 2 brand new defective 357 LCR's replaced. One took almost 6 weeks and the other was about 4 weeks.
I'll update as I know anything
