I bought a SP101 last November. The barrel wasn't quite lined up with the frame so I called Ruger and they took it back and fixed it. When I got it back I completely disassembled it to clean and lube (wished I had done that before its first trip) and the top of the trigger assembly had a bevel which IMO was excessively ground (partially through the latch pivot pin). I sent pics to Ruger and they agreed and took it back again and replaced the part. When it again returned it had a large ding/gouge in the cylinder where someone had hit or dropped it. By this time I was pretty peaved as Ruger had had my revolver about 2-3 months between the 2 trips. As this was only cosmetic damage, I emailed their customer service to let them know about it but I wasn't interested in sending it back. A lady with Ruger customer service called and implored me to send it back again and they would send me a new revolver. I said at this point a lot of good repair work had been done and I didn't want to start over. Eventually I agreed to let them take it again and, on top of replacing the cylinder they threw in a set of Crimson Trace grips at no charge. The whole experience turned into quite an ordeal but Ruger was trying hard each time to make things right (and they paid shipping both ways for each of its three trips).

I got a packet in the mail about the class, they ask us to bring 100 rds. However, I got an email today saying it's been pushed back a week due to lead removal at the range. Oh well, at least I can get in a practice session this weekend. What with ammo being scarce and pricy I don't get to the range nearly as often as I once did.

Howdy, new here and I take the HCP class next week. How many rounds did you go through for the shooting portion of the class? I've looked at a couple of Walmarts the past few days and the pistol ammo shelf is absolutely bare. I do have some on hand (9mm), just hoping it'll be enough. I guess I could take the .357mag...that'd probably be a real head turner at a HCP range test.
