I'm sure y'all are tired of hearing from me so I'll shut up now.
Finally, something we can agree on.

Jason at Lipsey's said:Some people have issued concerns whether we care or not about guns with cosmetic or function issues. That is a legitimate concern and I can tell you we take it very seriously. Every time we have to take a gun back its like taking a $50 bill and setting it on fire. By the time we absorb the shipping and processing cost we lose money on that gun. When we are made aware of a problem we take that to the manufacturer so they can take measures to correct it.
Some have questioned whether Lipsey's as a company cares about its customers. All I can say is that's THE reason I even started posting on here. When some guys asked me to join the forum I told them I am not here to sell guns or shill for our company. All I wanted to do was be a resource and a contact point for guys and gals who had questions, concerns, problems, or suggestions. Lipsey's has been extremely open (some from within the industry think too open) with production numbers, qty's sold, product lead times, etc. Just ask CHET15 how easy it is to get that kind of info from other distributors. We don't have to do any of this, but we are gun enthusiast too and know info like that is something fellow enthusiast like to know. My inbox has stayed full of request for help to find a gun, to get info about a gun, help with an issue with a gun, or to give ideas for future guns. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I have responded to each and every request and have done whatever it took to make the customer happy. Some of the issues were our fault, some the maker's fault, some a dealer's fault, some the forum members fault. Either way we do our best to make you happy.
In the end, if you are concerned about the fact we do not inspect each gun that comes in our warehouse and decide not to buy one, there aren't any hard feelings here. If you would like to discuss it further I'm always available. If there's one thing you can't say is that I'm not accessible. You can email me, PM me, call me , write me, or send me your number and I will call you.

This QC thing with Ruger has gone on for a long time, not just with Lipsey's, and Lipsey's is not the only entity that's discussed (and repeatedly discussed) the issue with Ruger.
When the market slows and Ruger has time to catch up, I'm hoping & assuming they will.
If they don't, it will not be the fault of anybody at Lipsey's, or any other distributor.

mohavesam said:"If Davidson's passes on a defective Ruger (or Smith, or Charter, or Hi-Point), do you hold them responsible for defective merchandise?"
Answer: Yes. In fact Davidson's as everyone knows, actually has a lifetime warranty on the Ruger guns and guns from other makers, that they take responsibility for maker's defects. That is a stand-up plan born from customer dedication.
