Hey everyone,
I know I may catch some flack because some folks say guns will get dinged up anyways but anywho...
I bought an SR9 about 4 years ago. Barrel peaning issue in the beginning. Ruger replaced with new barrel no problem. Ruger's customer service is stellar. I just purchased an SR9c from grabagun.com. I had it shipped to an FFL dealer near me. I picked it up and paid the transfer fee. Well I noticed when I got home there is a scratch on the slide. Its not very deep, but enough that I can feel it pretty obviously when running a finger over it. Now my SR9 that I have had for years and conceal carried on occasion, has zero scratches. My assumption is that maybe the slide got scratched by the magazine it was laying next to during shipping or storage. I know the SR9c will eventually wear, but I bought it new and it should look new. I am confident if i did notify ruger about it, they would have a prepaid label to replace the slide.
In your guys' opinion, do you think its worth the hassle to send back, or just live with the scratch? I'm pretty OCD with my firearms. Here is the pic with the SR9c scratch. The scratch is near the top of the slide. The next two are the pics of my 4 year old SR9. I was expecting my SR9c to be pretty close to looking the same as well.
