I wish I had a successful first trip to the range with my Davidson's Exclusive Ruger LCP Max Elite but it wasn't meant to be. It was pretty greasy in the bag when I picked it up at my LGS so I cleaned it up when I got home. I wanted to get around 200 rounds through it so while I brought a couple of other guns with me, I started out with the Max. I was only able to try six shots off as I had multiple FTF's and fortunately noticed that the takedown pin was working its way out. I pulled the pin out, inspected everything, and then had a lot of difficulty trying to get the takedown pin to go back in. As I kept trying, the pin popped out and landed in front of the railing where all of the spent casings get swept into so I figured it was a lost cause. I snapped a photo with my cell phone and thought there might be a chance and as I zoomed in, there it was propped up against the front of the concrete and a spent casing.
So while I was lucky enough to find it, I decided that I was not going to try it again, so I guess I will be contacting Ruger. I also think I will order the M*CARBO takedown pin as it looks to be better made anyway.
I'll post back when I hear from Ruger.
