LC9s ejector loose

[jb1911]

My ejector has a pretty good side to side wiggle on it. Does anyone else have this on their LC9s and could this be why I am experiencing stove pipes?

I don't know about this model but I would think the ejector should be tight so you eject the spent round in about the same place everytime. After you take it apart can you see anything to tighten?

No, you can't even tell how it's held in place by looking at it.

Mine is nice and tight. Seems a few people have had this problem with both models. Time to call Ruger for warranty.

The video is about the extractor. My problem is with the ejector being loose.

I just did a close examination and it seems like a pin goes through the firing pin safety lever, sear and sear spring and the ejector. It appears that all of those parts are kind of flopping around on the pin like their holes are too large. The ejector moves side to side and the sear cocks a bit when pulling the trigger.

Could be it's missing a spacer to put everything snug together, lots of guns will share one pin for a couple of items. A spacer is sometimes used for not only proper spacing but to take out the play.

That's what I was thinking.

I had the same problem Sent my old model LC9 in for repairs. I had all of the above problems plus needed a new firing pin and the slide had some repair work. No charge. Have owned a bunch of Ruger pistols over the year and this is the first problem I have experienced. Pistol works great! It is even more accurate than before the repairs.
