Hello! A couple months ago I purchased a beautiful new Super Redhawk in 44 Mag. Intending on hunting with it next year I am trying to get in a lot of practice, I have nearly 500 rounds through it now. Around this round count on a new gun I like to do a little more thorough cleaning and inspection, the problem is I can't get the trigger group to depart from the frame for some reason.
I've owned several revolvers and am familiar with take-down, cleaning, and inspection - Including gp100/redhawks. However, I cannot push the pin that holds the trigger group to the frame on this gun. I even tried using a screwdriver as a lever from the top down but I feared snapping it as the pin wouldn't budge.
I noticed the trigger group and the frame do not align perfectly, I cannot remember if I noticed this on other guns and have no idea if this is normal... I was only able to find one small picture online of a 'normal' looking gun: http://americanhandgunner.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/six_hr31.jpg and I don't see any overlap. Also it appears the trigger group is not completely flush with the frame.
The gun shoots fine so I am not sure if I should contact Ruger yet, but if anyone has any experience on the matter I would appreciate any advice. Please a picture below. Thanks!
