1. Premature wear:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ruger American slides may break owing to premature wear of the locking surfaces between the slide and barrel hood, according to Ruger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ruger has identified that some Ruger American Pistols may display early wear of the locking surfaces between the slide and barrel, which, if ignored, can result in a fracture forming at the slide’s ejection port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is uncommon when the round count is less than 10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After each range session, you should clean and examine your rifle. Proper maintenance extends the life of your handgun and allows for the early diagnosis of worn or damaged parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruger will provide a free refit for the impacted firearms; for additional information, see the Ruger website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Feeding Issue:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Feeding issues occur when a firearm fails to feed the next bullet into the firing chamber. Failure to feed is prevalent when the shooter does not maintain a firm grip on the handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It’s possible that your manual load isn’t pushing hard enough to get to full battery. Check that everything is in functioning order on that front. It’s also possible that the extractor isn’t turning properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take notice of the space between the case head and the shoulder machined into the breech face opposite the extractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A thorough cleaning of the chamber is a good idea. Clean and lubricate the extractor, paying particular attention to the region inside the hook. Make certain that the breach face is clean and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s critical to properly support the rifle, providing it with a nice solid base and grip to recoil against. Recoil and follow through will be clumsy if you don’t have a tight enough grip and your stance doesn’t give adequate support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Jamming:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The gun is constructed like a tank, and it’s a fantastic shooter, but it falls short in a few areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Failure to feed occurs when the following round is not correctly fed into the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ejection failure occurs when a round’s casing departs the chamber but becomes caught in the ejection port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This form of jam is typically referred to as “stovepipes” because the casing frequently extends out perpendicular to the slide like a stovepipe hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
