What is going on with the SR9?
« on: June 11, 2008, 10:01:58 AM »
Does anyone here know what Ruger is doing with this recall program?

Luckly I live in a rural area so I can shoot freely but what about those who shoot in competitions or only have ranges where recalled guns aren't welcome they now have $450 paper weights.

I myself wanted to bu another full black SR9 but cannot thanks to this little issue.

NOTHING is going on with it...that's what's going on.
But then, no one wants to get me started again...

The manager at my local gun store told me recently that the recall was delayed, but should be started in the second half of June.  He seemed to imply that Ruger was overwhelmed with the logistics of the recall.  Not to mention the teething issues of the LCP, also made in Prescott (sounds like biscuit), AZ.

Ruger really needs to pay attention to this site. Because if they did they would figure out that your the one person who they really need to send that box too with a confirmed return date 1 week or less on your recall repair. Everytime someone brings this subject up. I know your going to responed to it. My heart goes out to you on this one. I know if it was me and this much time went by with out it being fixed. Well lets just say being pissed off wouldn't come close to discribing what my feelings would be. Hang in there.

I can understand the logistics problem...they are used to sending them out by the thousands.  Getting thousands in to repair while building more to stay in business is going to be quite a problem.  But then... we did not cause the problem.

I'll say it again, I can wait if I can get a really good and slick 4-1/2 lb trigger.  I'll even buy another (especially in compact and other calibers)...but a good trigger is the key to future sales for Ruger.

I'm really not one to piss and moan about stuff, but this issue has gotten to me and it's just not going to go away.
You are right, I will respond every time I see this issue, and unfortunately the only people who don't see the response is Ruger. I realize they're in a jam, but there's such a demand for the SR9, if they bought mine back, fixed it and resold it to someone reconditioned they would GREATLY increase the chances that I would buy another Ruger someday. Right now, ....aaahhh, not so much!
You also have to keep in mind that last December I bought a new GP161 that wouldn't fire correctly and they had THAT for 6 of the first 10 weeks I owned it.  Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a Ruger man.

One thing that really trips my trigger is the simple fact that I like to remain somewhat brand loyal. I drive all GM vehicles from a 2007 Corvette to a 2007 Silverado and it's the same with my guns with the exception of shotguns for obvious reasons.

After buying my 10/22 I was hooked on Ruger prducts and figured I would give them a go when it came to handgun choice. So I picked up a SR9 then when the LCP came out I picked up one of those too. Two weeks after buying the SR9 it was recalled and after 10 shots my LCP had serious issues. I sent the LCP in and it was gone for 4 weeks and now works fine but I still have a SR9 that is good for nothing other than plinking on my acreage. Sure it can still be used for home defense but it's the principal that matters.

Hi guys , well I heard alot of up's & downs about the new sr-9 . But i've got to say that I think it is a good pistol.!! I have a nerve problem with my left leg so I had to look for a light pistol, tryed glock but to big & heavy. Saw the sr - 9 , tryed it . I think ruger has come up with a good pistol, just needs to be refind a little, but that my opion. To me it shoots good & feels good in MY hand. Don't knock it till you try it ..
