I've been fortunate enough to order 3 Ruger Bearcats in the last two years.
A stainless, a stainless Shopkeeper, and the Lipsey's Blue Shopkeeper.
No problems with any except the blue Shopkeeper.
When I picked it up after ordering it from CDNN Investments, I couldn't pull the hammer all the way back.
I found a video on how to disassemble the gun, so I took it apart. Everything looked fine, but I polished all the trigger and hammer parts lightly with a Dremel, a cotton buffing pad, and some polishing compound.
After a light coat of oil and reassembly, the gun runs perfectly.
But, it should never have left the factory in that condition.
Edited to add:
When my 15 year old LCP started having extraction problems, they sent me a paid shipping label and got it back to me in 3 weeks.
Other than the serialized frame, they basically built me a new gun.
It runs perfectly.
