You want to get out of it without being burned?? You have got to be kidding?? You are lucky you did not get hurt. You should go out and buy some lottery tickets immediately!!!

Honesty is the best policy. I would first ask the dealer for a refund, but you may not get one. I would then contact Ruger, and tell them the truth. They are not dummies. And the truth can go a long way.

However I agree with you. IF this was the first shot you took with the pistol then I would be a bit pis*** at whoever traded it in. I imagine there was a problem with the pistol, and the original owner wanted to get rid of it. I have a hard time believing the gun dealer would be involved. If you could prove that then he would be in a terrible liability position. Go talk to the dealer first. Tom.
