Do you only have one magazine? The usual suspects are ammo and the magazine. Ammo seems to be out as the cause of the problem.
Train jam. I've never heard that before, but that's exactly what's happening. I agree, with a 1911 I would replace the recoil spring and/or tweak the extractor. I'm not messing with this little gun. She's already on her way back to NC.That's if it's a "train" jam (Case at least partially in chamber with round behind attempting to feed ).
If its new, and doesnt run, out of the box, send it in.
I have always wondered what the cost is, on guns going back to the manufacturer for the most frivolous reasons? Ruger use to send out a second magazine. I guess they figured that was too costly due to the fact that many will send in a gun because they Limp wrist it, or used bad ammo or even some of the most stupid reasons, like they cannot shoot it accurately. Just send it in. Welcome to the new generation of shooters. I wonder what the cost is to all Ruger fans is, in the Long run? Shipping both ways, handling the gun, testing the gun and magazine. Yep, just send it in.
Yep, while mine were reliable, I should have said reliable until they are not.Id imagine it is cheaper than a dedicated QC department.. Ruger out produces every other manufacture so I am sure its a numbers game to them.

Anticipating you get your pistol working reliably soon.It's the 10th anniversary model that seems to be the culprit. They made some sort of tweak to it internally compared to the standard model. I'm finding quite a bit of other FTE reports on the 10th anniversary LCP.
I got the pistol back Wednesday. So 2 weeks after it left my house including weekends and Memorial Day. Free shipping. Awesome turn around.Anticipating you get your pistol working reliably soon.
I'm not totally crazy about thier autoloaders. Not just from this small experience, but in general. However, I love thier revolvers and thier customer service. I'm considering trying out thier Ranch Rifle.Man Fats,
I am glad they took care of the problem. Ruger is a good company and hey make good products.
Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone asked the OP if he CLEANED that new gun to remove the factory gunk? If not, do that first, then change ammo; lastly have someone else shoot it. IF after all that it still malfunctions, call Ruger. My LCP has been flawless with a wide variety of ammo as to function - although it definitely prefers certain brands over others.
Missed it, or skipped reading? To anyone looking for an LCP 10th Anniversary dated 2018, I stripped it, cleaned it, lightly re lubed it (as I do with every new gun) and stepped outside to my range and got FTE's right out the gate. Make no mistake, this wasn't a user error. This was a manufacturer error. Ruger corrected it. And fast.Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone asked the OP if he CLEANED that new gun to remove the factory gunk? If not, do that first, then change ammo; lastly have someone else shoot it.
