Re: Ruger informal poll
My Ruger 22/45 has digested huge amounts of varied ammo without any malfunctions that could not be traced back to human failure.

Re: Ruger informal poll
Ruger LCP back to factory for recall. I experienced no actual problems before or after, but a malfunctioning drop safety fits the category of "major problem" in my book, regardless of how well Ruger responded to the issue. Still love the little pistol regardless.

Re: Ruger informal poll
Same thing here as austinrealtor's post. But, I voted "no problems" because the LCP has performed flawlessly for me. Everyone knows about the recall and I think the poll here is probably looking for more general reliability perspectives.
Re: Ruger informal poll
Bought my used P-95 in April of this year. It was made in 2004, and have put about 600 rounds through it using 4 different types of ammo. Not one FTF, or any problems what so ever.

Re: Ruger informal poll
My 22/45 is reasonably reliable, but will occasionally stovepipe/FTE a round, and doesn't lock the slide back. Since it simply a plinking pistol, none of these are of any significant concern to me, so I voted minor problems that didn't require sending it to the factory.

Re: Ruger informal poll
No mechanical problems whatsoever for my SR9. Only issue at all was the white part of the front sight falling off. It's been a great pistol so far.

Re: Ruger informal poll
Only have an LCP with about 500 rounds on it, but no problems at all.
Re: Ruger informal poll
I have owned 2 P89s over the yrs. One was my first carry & the other I traded for then off. Neither ever gave the 1st hint of a prob. Totally reliable.

Carry 24-7 or guess right.
