Ruger LCR Kaboom

That reminds me of the time I saw a spaghetti colt do the same thing and blow off the ejector.  Bad things happen to any revolver when they go out of time.

One of the first things I did when I bought my Ruger was to read up on all the proper ways to check the timing and gaps.

My SP101 is a tank but I check the timing and tolerances when I clean it, without fail!  Sure glad I didn't trade it in too soon on an LCR.

I just wonder how much worse this would have been if it had been one of the new .357 models and it was firing full load .357 magnums.

Sadly, I will never know. To quote Haz  'I will let someone else do my beta testing". If I ever do get another .357 snubbie, it will be a Smith, or a Ruger in steel.

When the hell was I smart...err....sober enough to say some thing like that?

Love my S P 101       HEAVY      METAL

Heavy being the optimum word in that statement!

I've heard of this happening with other brands of revolvers also (someone in the comments section talked of his Colt doing the same thing). I don't think this is enough to damn the entire model, but Ruger needs to investigate thoroughly.

Ya know, I think I remember seeing somewhere a picture of a S&W model 36 that had the same thing happen.

I own plenty of Rugers and none have ever failed me. Anything mass produced be it guns,car parts,what ever theres going to be duds.
