GF has 600 rds without cleaning until yesterday, no issues.
My wife carries a 22 LCR and it is fine and we have shot it to death. I know that is probably not even comparable to the 38 and 357 though. Regarding the GP100 - it may be heavy but it is my go to gun for going in the woods or taking along as a sidearm when hunting. I have had a security-six and do have a 686 S&W, but in 357 I prefer the GP 100 all the way. At $550-600 I think it is one of the best buys for any gun.
They told me on the phone and it's on their website not to ship them back in their original boxes. They said there is a possibility you will not get them back.
Sorry guys I haven't checked the forum for a couple days.
I posted my returns on the Ruger forum. Here is my story....
LCR went back to Ruger
I switched to an LCR as my EDC back in December. I shot it regularly and had about 300 rounds through it - and then, with one round left in the third cylinder full of the day, the gun went 'click' instead of 'bang'. It locked up solid, and I had to take it completely apart to get that last live round out. As I took it apart, the transfer bar fell out - in two pieces. Next day I called Ruger, and I've got to say they are absolutely first class on customer support. Told the rep what had happened, what I had to do to get the live round out, and she sent me a UPS label within 20 minutes. Off it went, and exactly 10 days from the time I dropped it off at the UPS store I had it back. New transfer bar, and a new cylinder release spring. Do not know if the spring was related to the breakage, but I've put another several hundred rounds through it since the return and have had no issues at all - and it is still my EDC.
