The cylinder on my new match champion contacted and scratched the lower frame when opening and closing. I had to file down and polish the frame. to make clearance for the cylinder to close. The match champion is supposed to be shimmed from the factory. There was only a single shim on the hammer and it looks like they used a smaller trigger sized shim. The hammer spring pushed the hammer tight against the left side of the frame. I had to install two proper sized .002" hammer shims in order to center the hammer. I had to file down the corners of the hammer serrations because they were razor sharp. The Match Champion is supposed to be a more refined version of the GP100. My Match Champ. made it out of the factory with many faults. I paid lots of $s for this gun and am not happy. If I bought some "Harbor Freight" type brand revolver, I would have understood having imperfections like this. The extra money I paid for the Ruger was not worth it.
@mr.appletreefirearms3012 I live in NJ. I have to ship everything through an ffl. It will cost me $ just send it even if they send a return label. The gun seems to be in good shape now and I just shot every kind of high power ammo I could. I'm just not happy with the condition I got it in. Hopefully no more problems Thanks

So sorry to hear that! Did you try to send it to Ruger?
