My SR9 developed a habit of not locking open on an empty magazine about 1/3 of the time. I called Ruger and shipped it to them (my dime). Further facts about the pistol, all of which I told Ruger:
> It's about 18 months since I bought it new
> 2000+ dry fires
> Magazine disconnect removed
> Ghost trigger bar installed
> Reloads fired almost exclusively, at least 2,000 rounds
The pistol was returned (their dime) yesterday. From the invoice:
"Barrel - Replaced
Slide Stop Lever Assembly - Replaced
Striker Assembly - Replaced
Striker Cover - Replaced
Trigger Bar and Reset - Replaced
Trigger - Repaired
Mag Disconnect - Repaired
Notes: Upon inspection, slide stop lever assembly was founc (sic) to have been damaged due to improper reassembly. After-market parts were replaced at no charge on a one-time basis as a courtesy, pistol was function-fired 30 rounds without malfunction."
All of this repair and replacement was done at no charge.
Service like that is why I'm a big Ruger fan.
(OBTW, I'm going to pull the mag disconnect on the SR9 and then leave it otherwise stock from now on.)
