My comments are based solely on looking at and examining the above photograph of the broken part.
And there is no excuse for a critical firearm part breaking like that.
I would consider that to be an inherent defect if the part is MIM.
Any part failure that will result in an instantaneous catastrophic failure of the firearm on any self-defense handgun is a serious concern and folks should be made aware of the possibility of it happening at the worst possible moment.
Catastrophic failure meaning that the part breaks and the firearm then instantly becomes totally useless as a life-saving defensive tool.
My point being that if you have one and it's working great then superficially it's not a problem but, really thinking about it...you'll never really know if yours is going to break exactly like that right when you need it most.
So if the part is MIM then Ruger needs to (at the very least) investment cast that part and make that replacement part available to the owners who want that particular part replaced.
Just my personal opinion on that.
Honestly...I would not buy one right now after looking at that photo.
