I picked mine up 10/24. It was too late to shoot it that day so I waited until last Friday. The cylinder has a problem where one of the chambers is too tight after firing. Loaded factory rounds chamber just fine but are too difficult to push out once they are fired. The case fired in this tight chamber goes in and out of the others easily. So off to Ruger it will go.
I guess I stuck my size 10- 1/2 foot in my mouth a couple months ago boasting that I had bought 60-70 Ruger handguns with nary the first quality issue. :roll: That's what I get for shooting my big mouth off :mrgreen: . Anyway, I am not upset, just disappointed that I cannot shoot it while it is gone.
As far as how it shot, I was pleased. I had some 100gr. Gold Dots from Speer in factory loads and my standby 115gr RNFP under 3.7gr. Clays. The Speer load was snappy as one would expect but not bad at all for me. The reload does 1,000 fps out of my 5.5" BlackHawk so it is maybe 800 - 850 from a snubby. We planned to set up the chronograph but my buddy forgot to load it. I need to get my own.
Anybody else seen these? I got mine from ACRYLICTNK here on RF as a package deal with a 41 Redhawk. Davidson's had them in stock a while back. It is pretty easy to buy guns through them.
Hope y'all have better luck than me on this one.
