My better-half and I have to qualification one time per year to keep our LEO's papers. For Christmas last year my wife allowed me to buy a new carry pistol so she took me to my dealer and I had been reading quite a few good things about the Ruger Max 9 so I filled out the paperwork and have enjoyed this new gun until May 20th. We were half way through the qualification and the trigger locked and could not be pulled. Tried to do the tap, rack and bang drill to no avail. I help up my hand up and the the range officer came over and even he could not get the trigger to be pulled.
I finished the qualification with a second pistol and all is good. When I got home I was able to clear the weapon and break it down and thoroughly clean it. Presto the trigger began to work. I called Ruger Customer Service and related the problem and told the lady about the malfunction at the range and that it was now acting normally, kind of like taking a car to the mechanic deal. She said I could send it back but suggested shooting it some more and see if the problem showed up again......well long story short I have not been able to get to the range so I typed out a long detailed letter and had my dealer send it back to Ruger.
Prior to sending the pistol back I was attempting to duplicate the problem with a empty pistol and I discovered that the toggle part of the pistol trigger would lock the pistol up if I did not pull the trigger absolutely square and front to back. I detailed that fact in the letter and are hoping that Ruger will be able to fix the problem as I really like the pistol...easy to hide; easy to carry; and shoots like a dream!
Have anyone of you had a similar problem with their Max 9?
I have been a Ruger fan for a very long time, sine 1973 and the few problems I have had over the years they took care of without any problem.
