No it's not normal. But I have found with new guns sometimes
it's like Forest Gump and box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get.
I have opened brand new guns and found various rust, and rusted magazines as well.
So give Ruger a call, they will no doubt ship you a new spring.

Are you sure it might not have been the grease that the gun is packed with? My guide rod and spring were pretty nasty with a brownish-red colored thick, heavy grease that takes good scrubbing to get off there...

That's certainly the case with all the Ruger centerfire pistols I've handled at any rate, I've found them to be consistently unreliable out of the box, rust here, broken, or defective mag spring there, ect...I've purchased three new Ruger pistols in the last five years(all KP345's)and yes, just like Gump so famously said, you never really know what you're gonna get, certainly nothing I'd ever bet my life on without first detail stripping the pistol down entirely and inspecting every single component under a powerful magnifying glass, seriously!

I have 3 Ruger pistols and frankly, no offense, I find that really hard to believe. I have a P 89, a 22/45 and an SR9c and all have been great, in the short and long run.

Compared to some of my friend's higher price guns, the fit and finish on my GP100 and SR9 aren't quite at the same level.
That said, they have been very reliable and functional. I am putting out about 400 - 500 rounds a month on the guns so... ask me the question in a year's time.

None taken, however, you are lucky, not so much with the P89 which is a decent offering, but certainly with the SR9C. Ruger's three new polymer pistols(P345/SR9/C)are earning reputations, and not the kind that endear them to the consumer.
Good customer service has little to do with replacing rusted, or broken parts on brand new firearms. Good customer service is delivering product that is reliable from the box, and stays that way.
I am however a big fan of Ruger centerfire revolvers, there they hit homeruns.....

Baloney, Poppycock! 90% of the OTB problems I've read about here have gone away after a good cleaning, including the OP here who found out his "rust" was shipping preservative.
When I bought my SR9C , while I was still at the gun store, I just opened the slide and hosed the heck out of the inside and slide rails with a can of Rem Oil. Then went right on their range and ran about 300 flawless rounds threw it. I'm now at over 1k rounds and it still hasn't hiccuped once.

You are super awesome, not many would buy three of the same gun after having a major issue such as rust and broken parts with the very first one and then the second and you still bought a third? As I said, you are super awesome, I have bridge to sell, real cheap and I'm looking for a guy like you. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Feanor, post a pic of just one Ruger pistol that you own, with a newly dated newspaper in it, you know, just for fun.

Pretty much the exact opposite of what I found out while doing my research. I had great luck with my security six over the last 23 years and wanted to stick with Ruger on my next purchase. That said, I read many reviews, talked to knowledgeable owners, and checked ratings before buying, and the SR9c is considered and excellent and very reliable gun. First 150 rounds flawless out of box...only issue I had was me not knowing a couple of things.

:wink: Ahh, did the ongoing recall come up during all that research? Is that perchance one of the "couple" of things you didn't know? BTW, the Security Six is a great revolver...

I don't believe you've done your homework. There is / was / never has been a recall on the SR9C, that was the previous version (big brother) SR9 that from my findings had some trigger issues.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

And the truth on that one is that it was a "lawyers" recall. There was nothing mechanically wrong with the weapon, just a VERY unlikely chance that the gun could discharge if off safety and violently dropped.
Very reminiscent of the old three screw Blackhawk recall where they added the transfer bar. Guess I like to live life on wild side though, I've had my "Three Screw" SuperBlackhawk 44 mag since the late 60s and still haven't sent it in for the update. :shock:

You gotta be kidding, a troll because I pointed out the UNIVERSALLY well known flaws pertaining to Ruger's three new(ish) polymer Pjobs? What a crew of morons! You want photos "les enfants?" When the site(Ruger forum)makes the function available I'll be happy to post photos of all my toys, until then you're SOL.... :roll:

Wow...how'd I miss this? Feanor, you are posting in the SR9C thread and it is a different gun then the SR9 (smaller, lighter, compact, trigger changed...ect). There are several significant differences and there are NO RECALLS on THIS gun. Obviously there were lessons learned from the big brother SR9 that I already pointed out once did have a recall.
If you want to read up some more...here is Handgun of the Year award. Feel free to educate yourself.

It's you who must be kidding me. You're ignoring facts to stand by your claims. These "morons" have provided you with information that you have chosen to ignore--information that proves your claims false. The fact that you're still here proves my point--you're a troll trying to stir the pot, that's it. :roll:

Either the gun is a ringer, or you're a ringer. The SR9c is a new pistol and basically none of them should have rusted parts. My advice is to tell your gun dealer to stop disassembling them, nicking them with a chisel, dipping them in brine, and then selling them to someone else.

I think it's really time that Ruger aficianados started pushing back.
Let's go on over to the Glock boards with perfect anonmity and start asking things like:
"Is it normal for my Glock 27 to blow up in my underpants? Because that's what happened the other day when I bought one used from my dorkhead buddy at the local gun store, El Loco Debordo Gunstoro Yo Lo Taco Bell. I bought this cute little compact pistol to carry in my underpants, and lo and behold the first time I shot it, it blew my drawers off. I freely admit I was aiming at my crotch when I pulled the trigger, but it's the gun's fault. That's why I post stupid questions like this now, because my manhood has been totally eviscerated."
