I have the same problem. Looking closely, I could see a slight lip of metal, protruding around the recoil shield firing pin hole. Gently filed it smooth. Helped, but still loves 122gr and up grain lead bullets. They shoot well. 100 to 115gr seem to slow or hangup. The recoil shield may need to be replaced or reset?

Hmmm, I wonder who....

I shot at Oakwood Outlaws, near Oakwood, Texas, this weekend. Short drive, hot humid weather. IDEAL! I shot this Saturday and Sunday there, 6 stages both days. Sunday I shot the Pietta's GWII "Gunfighrt competitors" My thoughts, They shot great. For some reason, they get on target easily. No misses, no ruger(Pietta? go rounds) But, they do love 122/125gr bullets best. 105's gr, seem to back out primers every so often. I practiced with them on Saturday and decided to shoot only 122gr or 125gr on Sunday. Still the best price, out of the box - to the range - SASS legal handguns I have ever shot and owned. Now the problem of ..... Ruger's NV's OR Pietta's GWII Gunfighter Competitors....I could see me shooting the Pietta's at the Nationals 2025. Though, I do love my Lassiter Ruger New Vaqueros short stroked classics.....Tis a good problem to have.

I am sad to hear this. I am still impressed with mine. Yet, I am shooting smokeless, I think you are shooting Black powder or a sub.

, course those were yours, I assume? Problem children run in two's. ..least in my family. Oh and, Lassiter is, In my opinion, the premier Ruger NV short stroke gunsmith.

Mean Gun Mark, Congratulations to your 2025 Ohio State Frontier Cartridge Championship! Did you shoot these guns in the main match? I hope not. Your findings are dis-heartening. I hope you get a satisfactory result(s) from EMF. I am sure you will. That being said, we knew up front, the heavy trigger pulls that will be evident. Except!!! To have 7 and 8 lb trigger pulls, well, at 68 years old, I would be unhappy as well. I found, doing some basic polishing of parts, that are related to the hammer and trigger area, reduced mine down to below 4 lbs. Please keep us up to date with your findings.

Gosh darn, them are too sweet and elegant ta boot.
