The issue is that Ruger marketing decided that people should be able to shoot the 10mm/40sw round without moonclips. And even though this is actually impossible to produce reliably they persisted. So instead of headspacing off the moon clip, like s&w does on theirs, you get this. I would try...
For your inspection are my two WC's (link below); 1 SS and 1 Blued. I have also included my Royal Phoenix as it is my only other GP that I have that is blued, but it is admittedly not a very fair comparison to most any other blued GP. On yet another note, the Blued WC also has the brass bead...
Actually the trigger pull and action in general usually is smoother on the blued version of the WC due to the processing differences. Because the frame assembly and such gets dipped in so many tanks for the blueing process, the "water" actually cleans out 99.9% of the possibly remaining glass...
IMHO, that is a classic short stroke. A few things have to happen just right, but you can get the cylinder to rotate without firing almost any time you don't let the trigger fully reset. On the other hand sometimes the trigger cannot be pulled at all. A LOT of folks send there guns in for...
That forcing cone looks like every other forcing cone I've ever seen come from Ruger. I would shoot it for a bit and see if the problems that Denis is saying are going to happen actually happen. You'll know pretty quick if your getting lead build up on the forcing cone. Before you let...
The cylinder is longer and the barrel is cut shorter. The frame is the same except for slight change in loading gate area. And obviously 7 rounds instead of 6, enjoy it's been a long time coming....
If they come out easily and are all nice and round then you have nothing to worry about. But if you want to do another thing to check, that would put your mind even more at ease- is whether or not your ejector has alignment pins. If it does; your still OK (as I said earlier) because it...
MIM parts can be blued as they are blued all the time, you just can't put it through the same "cycle" as a normal part. There are a LOT of MIM sights out there right now. Thy don't color case well but it can be done. Not sure about the welding as I haven't tried it, as I can remember! :)
I...
All 4" barrels were 4 inches long. Give or take a bit. But now they are all more like 4.2" long, give or take a bit. I would check with C.S. on the change date; I think it was made at different times for different lines.....starting about 5 or 6 years ago....
That round will not fit on either of those two frames. So what you are asking for is not an LCR or an SP-101. It is either an entirely new revolver frame setup to be just big enough to hold 5 rounds of 45 or its a 5-shot GP-100 (if it's cylinder is strong enough to withstand it). Both of these...
The sights are screwed on. But it is so that people can get more choices from Ruger for front sights. They have a fiber optic and a brass bead patridge front sight you can buy for 44, 454 & 480 SRH. I don't know if they made it to the website yet.
The barrel has a recessed 11 degree included...
