I have the Ruger LCR in .22 WMG, horrible gun. When you fire it the hammer indentations keep the cylinder from opening up afterwords, you literally have to strike it repeatedly to get it to open to eject the shells, and it will also cause it to not rotate the cylinder when you fire it as well unless you pull the trigger with all your strength.
I bought it for my daughter as her first gun when she was going to college, living off campus she got her CCW permit and carried it to work with her, she worked downtown Indy at a hospital all hours of the day and night. After seeing that it was a POS I bought her a .38 S&W hammerless and put her Ruger back in the box where it’s been ever since. I was highly disappointed in Ruger for that one.
I had a high school teacher that said he bought his daughter (nursing school, late nites, etc.) a .44 magnum.
“I figured she wouldn’t have it in her to shoot the guy. So I figured if she just pulled that out of her handbag the guy would run off!”
Have You Contacted Ruger And informed them of the problems You describe ?
I’ll bet You’ll find they will fix or replace it at no charge.
Contact them and let Me know the results please.
You need to send that gun back to the factory for repairs. They will take care of the the problem (I have some experience with Ruger service, and they are very good).
