I think that it shows what kind of company Ruger is to recall them in the first place, replace them for free, ship for free and back with a free mag.
I agree. I thought CZ was a fine company until a friend and I each got their early CZ Rami in .40 S&W.

They had a terrible FTF (nose dive into the base of the ramp).

I joined the CZ forum and they were filled with folks suffering the same problem.

CZ never did admit to the problem, but if you called and complained they would take your gun back and polish the ramp (totally useless---recall the problem was nose diving into the base of the ramp).

Somebody finally figured out that the problem was weak mag springs. CZ was using the same spring in .40 as they used in the 9 mm Rami.

Replacing them with +10% solves the problem.

I think CZ finally changed the springs in later Rami .40 guns.

It turned me off on buying any more CZ guns.

Ruger would have done a recall---or more likely never sold them with weak mag springs in the first place.

After a few experiences with Ruger customer service, I became a dedicated fan. Yes I've had problems with some of their guns but I bought a brand new S&W 686 and it was out of time right out of the box. Took 6 months and ten calls to get it fixed.

I once sent Ruger a 35yr old Single Six that I bought second hand. I never even got a phone call with an estimate. The gun came back in two days; they had replaced and timed in two new cylinders and the trigger mechanism - no charge. Not even shipping.
