I am not the first to have this particular problem. Bought a new SR22 this weekend which looks and feels beautiful so I took it out to the range for a break-in session. All did not go according to plan.
There was an identical problem posted by a DMax7 or DMax07 about 2 months ago. This gun requires the magazine to be inserted into the frame in order to fire. Problem is when the magazine is fully inserted until it clicks home, 'most' of the time it will not engage the trigger. This means I can move the trigger all the way forward and backward with the safety fully off and in the firing position and the trigger does not engage anything at all. I say 'most' of the time because sometimes I can get off 1 or 2 rounds then it will become disengaged. Field stripped it and no observable problems. Everything moves/slides freely.
Happened to be another person at the range with the same model gun purchased 2 weeks ago. His works flawlessly, of course. We found out that:
1) Either of my magazines into his pistol worked perfectly every time dry or live fire.
2) Either of his magazines into my pistol worked perfectly every time dry or live fire.
3) Either of my magazines into my pistol had the identical problems as noted above.
I don't think it is anything I can fix. Wish he would have just traded me my magazines for his but understandable that he did not offer to do so.
I need the pistol for some training this coming w/e. My question is my dealer is only open on Friday-Sundays. Have never had a problem before. Am I to expect to be able to get a replacement from the dealer if he has one or will I likely have to send it to Ruger? I realize I may not have a working SR22 this w/e even though I need one. My main question is what help I should expect from my dealer or is he likely to send me to deal directly with Ruger?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
