As long as the retainer pin is in place, dry firing CANNOT hurt the gun!

Taking the metal tab off the LCI takes 5 minutes and it changed my gun from a jamming nightmare (every 20-30 rounds) to a gun which has never malfunctioned AT ALL over 1000 rounds

What about the 5 1/2" Hunter? I love it!

If you follow the instructions VERY CAREFULLY, step by step, on the website that actionfiles has posted you will be rewarded. Take the gun apart and re-assemble ten times in succession and you will find it is one of the easiest procedures for a semi-auto of any gun. The whole trick is the hammer...

Funny...I have the same problem but occasionally it does slingshot...Maybe one in ten tries

The first few times I used the Ultimate clip Loader it worked exactly as advertised with all of the ammo. falling into the mags effortlessly. As use progressed, I found that I had to keep shaking the loader to get the ammo into the magazine. The problem was, and probably is for you, that the...

Take the metal tab off the LCI.

If you don't get the dangle thingie into the thingie hole, the slide can't be pulled back but the latchie thingie shouldn't be jammed.

Please report back when you do. I'm trying to think of why your problem happened and can't so I'll be interested to hear why. The gun was a pain to dis/reassemble until I went through the drill about 10 times. I have it down pat now with never a problem. This is why your post threw me a bit...

dbski Does this mean you can't even open the lever on the latch or that you can't swing it up and pull it out? I had that problem when I put the magazine in BACKWARDS! Gun totally jammed.

Now that I removed the LCI tab my MKIII is flawless no matter what ammo I use. I'm sorry for those that have continuing problems despite this fix and they really are unacceptable. Why doesn't Ruger acknowledge the problems with this gun? The company must see the number of complaints it is...

I did it also. After about 90 minutes of trying almost every thing and ready to go to a gun smith, I was able to release the mag but slipping a dental pickup between the frame and the magazine on the offending side and release the disconnector . By the way, this is the second time I did it and...

tss....I've found that I need to whack the receiver into place with my plastic mallet to get it all the way back. If I do this, I can get the bolt stop in by hand. You can either whack the muzzle or put the muzzle down on your padded work bench and whack the frame at the back.
