I bought the pistol new in April. Upon shooting it for the first time I experienced misfires/light primer strikes. Sent back to Ruger and they replaced the barrel, firing pin, extractor and pins/springs. No difference, Misfires start in the 2nd magazine. Only thing that helps is to use Federal ammo and/or ammo with Federal primers which are soft. Called Ruger and they said "yeah security 9s are prone to light strikes. You can send it in again but if it functions with federal ammo then it functions."
I realize these are budget guns but I'm not impressed with Ruger's "oh well" attitude. A new 9mm gun that only fires certain ammo is hard for me to believe. I have a 1913 Luger that shoots anything, so why can't my security 9 be made to shoot something other than Federal? There must be a way to overcome or reduce this. A gun that won't fire is just a paperweight in my opinion and reminds me of Jimenez, Bryco and other like pieces of poop. Disappointed with this purchase.
