I saw what at first appeared to be a great deal on a 6" stainless version in the used case at the shop for $269. But when I tried the trigger in single action, it was surprisingly heavy and extremely gritty. It felt like two or three "rough spots" before the hammer finally fell. It is not just different from the *&* trigger that I'm used to, it really does feel defective. Also, the hammer itself is scuffed on the left lower side, like it is rubbing against the frame or something inside. I'm convinced there is something seriously wrongh with this thing.
At this low price however, I don't mind tinkering with it to fix the trigger pull and the scuffing problem - but I have no idea what could be causing these issues. (I even dripped oil inside of it at the shop, in case it was too dry.) If all else fails, I can return it to Ruger for a warranty claim and probably end up with a good revolver after a bit of a hassle.
What do you think is wrong with this thing? Should I just stay away from it?
