So, after I thought about the issues I had with my SP101 in 327 Federal, I asked my father to call Ruger to ask if it might be an ammo issue, or handgun issue. (I recently PCS'd, so have limited Phone Service).....
The issue was very sticky extraction, and case bases that expanded well beyond normal....It seemed to me because of evidence of carbon on the side of the case, and the fact that some cases in different chambers flared more than others, that it was an issue with Ruger making some of the chambers too big, and some close to the right size...Based on Ruger's Response, there might be more to it...
If you do not have the sticky extraction, powder burns on the side of the case, and extremely expanded cases near the base, then you should be fine....
Here is what my Father told me about the conversation with Ruger....
The lady said there are issues with that revolver. She said that there are no cylinders in stock now. She said I could wait and call back every now and then to see when a new cylinder might be available. This may be a long time.
She also said we can send the revolver back and get a refund for what you paid, or we can send the revolver back and get another revolver in a different caliber.
She said that the sticky extraction indicated that the revolver is dangerous.
