Ruger SR 1911 recall

[johnx2]

Hi there
I have a Ruger SR 1911 and love it.
But I was told but a gun dealer that there a recall and/or the barrel is cracking on them. Does anyone here know about this?
Thanx for reading

ALWAYS always ALWAYS take gunshop advice/info with a grain of salt.

Not much googling led me to Ruger's "safety announcement" website.

Look for yourself if there's a recall. The manufacturer's website is always the best place to look for that kind of information.

If there is one thing Ruger does well, and has a lot of practice at, it's issuing a recall. If it has happened it will be on their site, and if you sent in anything in the original box that looked like a registration or warranty card, they will mail you personally.

Ruger is also very good about answering any emails. Just hop on their website and contact them should be a timely response.

Recalls with gun issues are something all makers take seriously, and are put out immediatley.
Too much risk with an injury or death lawsuit not too, and being a firearm it's even worse on the blackeye as compared to vehicle recalls.

Ruger puts the "R" in recal. I'm not trying to bash them because I love their revolvers, but they don't have a goo track record in recent years of releasing a new product without having a recall. There's a lot of Rugers out there I'd like to buy, but I won't until a couple years after it's been released and the bugs have been worked out. Not trying to hate, but it is what it is. I don't know if they have an official recal, but it really wouldn't surprise me at all.

I can't find any mention of a recall on the 1911 on Rugers site or floating on the web.

Maybe the gun shop worker was confused with the other recalls?

Thanx for all the help. May gun shop should keep emploees more informed

As you go through life,
There are three rules that never bend,
Never whittle toward yourself,
Never **** against the wind,
And never buy a Ruger until after the first recall.

Seriously, Ruger makes great guns but it seems like they have a recall on every single gun that they bring out.

Not that it will do much to correct the perception being propagated here, but Ruger has had 2 recalls in the last 20 years- the LCP in 2009 and the SR9 in 2007-8. Even two is too many, but you will find few manufacturers that have produced as many new models in that time and Ruger has been very good in handling those recalls smoothly.

Ya' think?

"Thank you Mr. Obvious"! I think some of them absorb the BS customers carry in through the door.

Thanks for the recall info, pudly. You may have prevented some of the above!

No problem. I'm here to help.

Oh, and I prefer.... "Dr. Obvious" please, I obviously didn't go through 8 yrs. of medical school to be a Mr.

Tell ya how I feel about. The guy working at the gun shop needs to be more informed be for running the mouth. I took the gun back to my local range and ran about a 100 rounds though it. No problem

Never buy a car the first year they come out either! Just sayin'

 

[TheBigE]

I know there are issues with them as they are made out of 99% unobtanium. I don't know if it is parts quality or what.

recalls are bad Pr. I hate ruger. but would rather have a company tell me they effed up than let me keep going with a bad product. VW gets a bad rep becuase they have more recalls than many other manufactures. doesn't mean they have worse vehicles, but it could mean they are more willing to admit fault than other car makers

 

[johnx2]

Got an e-mail from Ruger today. They say there is no problem reported, with the SR 1911
And no production stopage. They are shipping orders daily. To meet the high deman for this pistol
But again thanx eveone.
