Well the testimony sure shows rugers to be rough and tough that is for sure. Here is another
Was hanging out at the shop and this guy comes in with a real sad look on his face. He hands over a p95 with the slide stuck half way. we look at it and ask him if he was sooting reloads. He said "yes, I got them from a friend, how did you know" Well, logn story short, he had a sqip load and when it didn't feed the next round he racked the slide and touched off the next one. We all agreed he learned a VERY valuable lesson that day. After a stern lecture and showing him some rifles, handguns and x-rays of gnarled up hands with odd metal chunks under the skin the shop owner exchanged the pistol out for new one since the guy had just bought it that morning.
We took the dead ruger to the back and beat it apart. It was amazing, the only visible damage was a buldge in the barrel. Other than that, the gun looked flawless. Man, if it were any other gun I think it would have come unglued and messed that guy up bad. We ended up tagging the gun as unusable and added it to the training stock.
Rugers sure have thier place.
