Only one before this with an issue was a release day Ruger SR9 that had to have a safety recall. They through in extra mags for my trouble.

Dapper Dynamite Dick Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I bought a pair of SASS Vaqueros in .357 about 7 years ago that were "lightly" used. The reason they were lightly used was the fact that one of them kept rotating past live rounds in the cylinder. Got it repaired by a gunsmith and once they were working flawlessly, my wife claimed them. I'm still using my "Original" Vaqueros in .44 Mag that I started with in 1997.

You could have sent them back to Ruger and they would have fixed them for free... Even though you bought used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper to get the job done in Canada too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Johnson Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I must say I bought a pair of sass rugers a couple of years ago..and the first time I shot them the first sight flew off so i send them back .. so when i got them back which was a couple of weeks later i sent them to Jimmy Spurs for action/ half cocks when I got them back o took them and shot them at winter range and my friends were telling g me I was hitting the wrong target so I went to the practice stage and shoot each one and the one I sent back was shooting 11" to the right and 7" low..so I took then to a gunsmith and he told me the barrel was installed wrong .he tried to fix them but when I shoot them the barrel loosen up...needles to say I dont know what to do with them I have alot of money wrapped up in them but I cant sent them back cause of the action job ... can anyone give me some ideas what I can do???thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clark Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I must be living the charmed life when it comes to Rugers. Starting with a used 4 digit MKI as a youngster, until this year I count up approximately 16+ handguns and 8+ long guns from Ruger without ever having one fail, unless you want to count the 3rd refinished on my trusty MKI . I do wish they currently made a SxS shotgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal El Malo Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 I was working with Ruger to do this without sending the guns in and do a grip frame swap instead. In the process, I tried loading some rounds into them. Gun #1 there are no issues. Gun #2, rounds will load into the cylinder when it is out of the frame, but will not while it is in the frame. It appears something is off. Super disappointed in these guns. I have two Smoke Wagons on order right now while I work through these issues. I tried my reloads and hornady factory rounds.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I guess I was lucky with my SASS Rugers. I bought them slightly use and other than lowering the front sight on one, I've had no problems. It is disappointing, however, that something licensed with the SASS logo, is showing these kinds of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not get the OEM Ruger parts back? Have you called Ruger about this issue? Ruger will put OEM parts in them, and return your 'race-gun' parts in a plastic bag.

Just call Ruger and ask them what's the best course of action............ Keep us posted. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal El Malo Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 My dealer responded to me this morning and is going to take these back and work it out with Ruger for me. I have a pair of Smoke Wagons on the way, and with this refund will be looking at the Evil Roys really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Solo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Check out the smoke wagon short strokes or running iron short strokes depending on your hammer preference. There is also the Uberti Sass Pro version which is the same as as the running iron short stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
