So again I am here to ask for some of the infinate internet wisdom. This time, it's my friends Ruger P-95. His slide will not lock back like it is supposed to when you firethe last round. We cleaned our guns a day or two before we went to the range, and the slide locked back every now and again. Now, I'm figuring that it is a mag problem comparing my XD mag and his mags, it looks like it needs tweaked a little bit. Well, both of them. Now while I am going to give it a real deep clean job, I'm wondering if there is anyone else that had this problem and solved it themselves.
Bad thing is I/we don't know anything about Ruger warranties,and he ~thinks~ all he has is a Gander Mtn. 1 yr warranty, which kinda don't make sense. Who buys a brand new gun without a warranty? (Don't bag me on that comment, I'm just wierd about things like that) So, if anyone can help me out before I contact Ruger & co. it would be appreciated. If nothing else, he says he will try to get new mags too.
BTW, the tweak im thinking of is to open the top of the mag just a hair to see ifI could get the plastic piece to come all of the way up and grab the slide. Now that I tinkered with it for a minute, I think I'll tell him to replace his mag springs first, they seem a little worn out, fully loaded mags at all times, so I think theymight be done.
Thanks everyone, and also, I LOVE this place
