Hey guys,
I just bought a brand new Ruger Blackhawk Convertible in 357/9mm 4-5/8" barrel.
I am planning to send it back to Ruger because the front sight is very crooked.
My question revolves around the 357 cylinder: it seems REALLY tight. I took it to the range a few days ago and also took along my 686+ and quite of few 357 rounds would not chamber in the Ruger. Once fired, most cases had to be pulled out by hand and were very tight in the cylinder.
I took those same rounds and they literally fall in and out of my 686+.
While all the cartridges were reloads, I had two different brands of brass, one of which was brand new and never fired.
Should I ask Ruger to address this or do you guys think the Ruger will "loosen up" in time? I don't see that myself but I'm always willing to learn.
Thanks.
EDIT: also, the 9mm cylinder was 100% and cases fell out as expected. ( I have other Rugers in addition to this one. )
