You really have two options, as far as what I have seen. I do not own a double action Ruger, only a SA. On the Ruger forums when someone gets one that is that way most send the cylinder off to http://www.cylindersmith.com/ . They do very good work.ljnowell,
What are my options? Get the cylinder throats bored larger? Would a good gunsmith be able to do that? It just seems too extreme a thing to have to do with a newer revolver.
The cost is 30 dollars plus 10 dollars for shipping.
You can order from brownells the stuff to do the job, when I looked into it it cost about 50-60 dollars to buy the stuff. Only you can know whats best for you, if you are a DIY-er you can own the tools permanantly, and I would guess that if you buy other guns in the same caliber you may find a use for the tools down the line. Otherwise, the offered service is a good deal, IMO.
I would definately call them though, and see what they say about DA revolvers, and what they do with them.
Tony: The problem with ruger is that when you do have them redo it it will come back with egg shaped throats, etc. Ruger builds a good quality rugged firearm, but the cylinder throats have long been an issue with them. They apparently are gang-reaming the cylinders and it leaves too much opportunity for problems. Most people that shoot jacketed commercial bought ammo never notice an issue, its just when you start handloading that these things crop up. I would bet other manufacturers have the same problems also, just fewer handloaders buying and loading lead for the product.
