The didn't even charge me return freight either time. Last issue was a timing issue 2 years ago-called Ruger, they said send it in, I get it back 2 wks later, new parts, not hassle, no fuss, no questions asked, NO CHARGE (nor the first time back to them in 1994 either for a cylinder jam issue when it got hot after lots of 357 rounds in a session) Tough guns and Ruger service is great but I have had mine back to them twice in 38 years.-mine has 2K rounds of 357 and 4K rounds of 38 spl through it.
Get the gun! I still have my first handgun-1978 Security Six 6' stainless.
