I read here of Kimber Roulette, but I'm not familiar with it. But I am very familiar with Ruger Roulette. Good luck with the replacement mag.

My wife has one, it only likes regular cci, jams on everything else. I just use cci’s in it like everyone else that owns one instead of crying on the internet about it. Sounds like some kind of Seacamp issue. Very popular back up gun at one time I heard. I never considered one as I believe the company only warranted them with Winchester Silvertips or some such. And what does one do if one ends up in an area with none on the shelves, just Remington or Sellior and Bellot? Seacamp was a quality weapon. They were specially built for the Silvertip, which was the best 32 ACP round at the time. Later, it was eclipsed, but when Seacamp started making his 32's, they were the best you could get in that caliber. In fact, the Silvertip really popularized the 32 ACP, bringing it up to nearly 380 level stopping power wise. From what I heard I have no issue with your statement of them being a "quality weapon". And I have no issue with the Silvertips either. I just happen to be one of that group that prefers something that will digest whatever can be found when needed. It's one reason I don't use my Nylon 66 often. It has a tendency to prefer plated ammo, doesn't always feed the bare bones lead tips well.

"Paul, it's not me, it's you. It's definitely you."
A wild guess that you've heard this before, Mr. Barnard. It's an unfortunate truth. My wife didn't believe me when I told her I was bad luck. "No such thing" she said. Unsurprisingly, I don't gamble. We went on a cruise not too long after we started seeing each other. She wanted to go gambling. I told her I would stay off the gaming floor. She brushed it off. About an hour later I strolled in to check on her. She was up a couple hundred bucks. I watched her for a few minutes until she dropped down to about 50 bucks up. I excused myself. I came back 45 minutes later. She was way up again and immediately started dropping. She kicked me out of the casino and immediately hit a couple hundred dollar jackpot. You just described my wife's effect when I used to gamble. Before we met, I could plan on winning. Hell, there was a while when I hit some rough times that I was making my bills at the casino. I would still go and pick up $400 (when I got up that much, I cashed out and tucked the bills into my wallet) from time to time when she and I met. Her parents were living in Vegas at the time, and every time we would gamble, I lost my ass. Finally had enough of that, and stopped giving away my money. I prefer being with her to picking up folding money, anyway. She has been like winning the lottery.

Its not just you.....maybe 4 of the last 5 Rugers I have bought have had to go back to the factory......Last year bought a Redhawk in 45 LC and the trigger felt like it was filled with gravel. Took 10 months to get it back marginally improved.
Buy yourself a pre=lock S & W and see what a revolver is supposed to feel like. You are welcome

Dang, I thought I was the only one on the 'fire that was a "turd magnet"
I bought a McMillan stock the recoil pad keeps coming unglued
Had to change an ejector on a Glock gen3
,
had to put about 75$ worth of parts in a Browning ATD to get it reliable
Had 3 new Colt 1911s that have needed work done on them.
Had 2 leupolds crap out
An 870 express shotgun that would leave shells in the magazine (death trap if not careful)
Several so called reliable 10/22 magazines that quit working
.Bushmaster AR with a tight magwell
. Brand new late '80s Remington Mountain Rifle you could move around in the stock when the stock screws were cinched up tight.
Seems like at least half the stuff I buy I have to exchange or tweak on to get it to work.

Has anyone ever personally seen any small frame 22 LR auto that was remotely close to being perfectly reliable?

Ruger’s quality is beyond sketchy. If it wasn’t for their cheap RAR line card that thrills so many with accuracy for under $350 bucks. Ruger’s new builds would be considered high priced garbage.

Why a .22 for a bicycle gun, will a 9mm over penetrate?
Tradition....it goes back to the .22 Velo Dog. This wins the forum for funniest post of the day. Paul, It’s too early in the day to make that call....We still have Happy Hour, then drinks at home to come. 🦫

Maybe Toyota ought to go into the gun business? All of them I've bought, new and used, have pretty much worked as is. Change out the wearable parts as necessary, oil, brakes, a clutch every 150-200K miles. Be nice to get a firearm like that?

Paul, you really need to stop looking at the " classy conversation and hot women forum" when your in the gun shop on your phone and zone out all the butts walking by instead concentrate on the guns.

A .22 auto in this configuration is going to be a gamble regardless.
The .380’s are rock solid though.

Paul make a list of any firearms your thinking of buying. So everyone else can avoid them!

Has anyone ever personally seen any small frame 22 LR auto that was remotely close to being perfectly reliable? Yeah- I have a Walther P-22 that I bought quite some time ago...I think it was around when they first hit the market. I only got it as a plinker and fed it a steady diet of bulk pack .22 lr, mostly Federal, but a lot of Winchester as well. Sometimes when the grandkids were out at the farm we’d run through several hundred rounds as fast as I could load mags...that pistol would get hot. I kept expecting it quit, but I never got any failures except the occasional dud you expect in bulk.22 ammo. After a while it became a game with me, I figured I’d run it until I got feed, battery or ejection failure, then clean it and start over. The kids got older, life changed, it sat idle for a number of years. I took it to the range recently...it still chugs along although I think the slide returns to battery a little slower. Maybe I’ll clean it up. I recently went through all my pistols and revolvers and made sure all were clean and lubed except that one. I don’t want to jinx it though.

Just to add, I’ve got a Beretta 21 that is reliable as long as it’s kept clean and lubed and fed good ammo.

Valsdad, I found the same with my Nylon 66......so around 1975 or so, I quit buying Winchester Wildcats, and Remington Thunderbolts. I’ve stayed with plated since then! memtb
