Picked up my brand new SP101, 357, 3", today. Upon inspection, I noticed the roughest crown I have ever seen, and a few other rough burrs. I decided to stick with it and take it up with Ruger if there was a problem vs passing on a pretty sweet deal. Took it home and did some casual test firing. Rough chambers made for hard extraction of 38+p loads that drop easily out of my other (Brazilian) revolvers. Seemed to shoot straight, but, the real deal killer was after 20-30 rounds the cylinder started to tie up. Turns out there is practially zero flash gap. I couldn't even get a .0015 feeler in. I probably would have polished up the burrs, but not really willing to mess with the crane/cylinder fit, so it's going back to Ruger. Thought I was moving up a bit from my Tauruses and Rossi, but so far, I'm pretty disappointed. Sure up that famed Ruger customer service comes through.
