Got a friend with a unfired Ruger SR9.
He started shooting it and is getting a lot of failure to load jams using Winchester white box, ball ammo. I assume nose jamming in the feed ramp. I have not witnessed the jams myself.
I told him he needed to have the feed ramps polished and to shoot at least 200 rounds thru it to smooth it out.
Not to cast stones, but as I recall, Ruger used to have a reputation for strength, but not polish and were considered fairly rough guns, until broken it.
I have just one Ruger, an LCP in .380 ACP, that I have never had a problem with any kind of a Jam.
Other than what I have suggested, does anyone else have any insight as to what might be causing the jams and how to resolve the problems. Does this specific model have issues that need to be addressed to make it reliable?
