Lemon, I suppose. But, as I said, I didn't buy it. The ones I have seen have dropped in price, not increase. My Springfield does what my friends SR does, only it doesnt jam. I wanna say he has around a thousand through his, maybe more, and it is still super tight. I suggested he have it worked on, but like me, he's stubborn and doesn't like to baby his guns. I hope everyone who buys one gets a good one, I really do. I will say this much for them, when they don't jam they are a comfy pistol. Being that it's Ruger, I'm sure any and all issues there could be will be manufactured
out. I have seen some disgust from guys at my LGS due to the tightness of the SR. But, like I said, it ain't my gun, so obviously YMMV. Just wanted to give an objective situation.
