Greetings all,
I have a 2008 LCP with no more than a couple of hundred of rounds through it (no issues). I recently decided to try running some JHP (Remington factory) in it in preparation for being a carry gun and experienced multiple failures to extract -- the brass would come out only a few mm and the next round would hit it from behind. When I switched back to FMJ, the LCP cycled perfectly.
Called Ruger customer service and they say that because the pistol is > 2 years old, I have to send it in on my own dime -- $30 or so. And, of course, I would have to pay for any repairs they might have to make due to "wear and tear." They said that even if it were determined to be a manufacturing issue, they would still not refund my shipping.
I've read other threads and seen issues with JHP due to barrel problems, and given the low round count, factory ammo, and meticulous cleaning/maintenance of the pistol, I can't imagine this is wear and tear.
Any ideas? I'm very disappointed that Ruger customer service wants me to pay for shipping in this case.
Thanks in advance
