Question: Has Ruger already resolved the "peening" problem with the SR-9?

I mean, unless someone can show some sort of a % of how many SR9's peen that would indicate that is in fact a problem that Ruger needs to address.

So funny! If you got a gun that runs out of the box it's no big deal but if you've sent your new gun back 2X you sure see it differently. If tolerance stacking is the problem then Ruger has a QC problem. If Ruger has decided that it's OK that a certain number of guns will be faulty if they get put together with X number of parts that are all at max or min tolerance what does that say? You'll never see % of returns from Ruger or anyone else unless someone on the inside leaks it.

But how many people have actually had the peening problem? To the best of your knowledge?

That won't matter as we only see a small portion of who's owned an SR9 and had X experience with it here on RF.com. Sure we see alot of bad experiences with the SR9 and we see plenty of good or eventually good posts, but the fraction we see is most likely not proportional to what's actually out there in the real world.

Thing is, as I stated in another thread, I snooped around a fair number of other make enthusiast forums and didn't see close to the number of "this gun sucks" posts about any other make or model. Would seem that if there were similar problems happening there would be a like number of unhappy owners..and there just aren't. Interestingly I asked about the Mosquito .22 on the Sig forum and got some "don't buy one" answers from a few members who had one. Not enough Sig KoolAid I guess. :roll: It might be fair to say the SR9 has had more than it's fair share of problems don't you think?
Hello,
My SR9 is exhibiting peening on the barrel block crown. The peening does not appear to be affecting the firearm, and does not come into contact with the slide during function.
Is the gun OK to use?
Best regards,
x
Response:
The barrel will usually form a small burr across the top of the locking surface. If the barrel exhibits more than a .005" burr and shows signs of metal displacement rearward, at your convenience, call Customer Service in Prescott Arizona (928/778-6555), and we will be happy to help with this issue. We can make arrangements to ship your pistol back for repair.
