Hello RF,
New guy here, first post. I bought an SR40c about a year ago. Right out of the box the pistol has numerous issues. Jams, FT Feed, Stovepipes, and the lower cam block pin walked out the very first time I shot the pistol. I'm talking all the way out, landed on the range floor. I sent it back to Ruger and they performed the following on my pistol.
Items repaired: barrel, extractor, and magazine latch.
Items replaced: Trigger bar reset, trigger bar assembly, fire control housing, and ejector.
They fired 50 rounds of Black Hills 155gr and everything was fine, etc.
So, on my first trip to the range after I got the pistol back from the mothership, the dang cam block pin walked out again on the first mag fired. I lost faith in it and put it in the safe for 9 months or so. Recently, took it out to the range and fired 200 rounds through it.
Several concerening issues. *The last round in the 15 round mags jams in the mag every time. The 9 round mag is fine.
*The spent brass is flying at least 15 feet and further, in a crazy uneven pattern. I've never seen pistol brass fly this far and I've shot many thousands of rounds through various pistols. * The barrel has some nasty peening at the tip of the hood closest to the grip.
So it's going back again. Meantime, I wonder if anyone could explain the crazy strong ejection of the spent brass? Also, any idea on why the last round is jamming in the 15 round mags? I really want to love this pistol, but the lower cam pin walking is a problem, and the ejection, mag issue and barrel peening is concerning. FWIW, I shoot Blazer Brass, MagTech, and Fiocchi all 180 grain ball when at the range. Our range is outdoors and I often have a 25 yard bay to myself, thus the ability to see and measure the distance the spent brass is flying.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. I also wonder if these issues are common with SR ** c series of pistols?
