I had breakfast this morning with a former fellow co-worker. We are both retired and get together for breakfast at Bob Evans every so often. Prior to this morning he has been telling me about an issue he has with his Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper! It doesn't do it all the time but often enough to where it's not real reliable. He wanted me to take it to my gunsmith to have it repaired. It's a sweet looking little pistol and he bought it new, maybe 2 years ago! He brought it with him this morning and was trying to show me what was happening. When he holds it level and cocks the hammer, there is a piece just below the firing pin that moves up and interferes with firing the gun. He said that if you point it towards the ground, it's less likely to malfunction. I assume it's single action only but didn't ask (he seems to like single action pistols).
I told him being newer that , most likely Ruger would fix it for free. I also said that they might pay shipping to and from the repair facility. He goes shooting very little since he's taking care of his wife so, I doubt it has a lot of rounds through it. It's a sweet looking pistol!
Any rate, what will Ruger do for him. Anyone have the best contact info for them and what the procedure is? Does Ruger pay for shipping and send RMA's??
He's a great friend and I'm just trying to help him out and I've never had to send any of my Rugers back to them!
Thanks for your help,
