I'm getting ready to purchase Ruger GP100 .357 / 38spl with 4.2 Barrel. UPC 736676017713. There is one review that states "Don't Purchase" you'll be sending it back, for the revolver bullets won't eject..... Is there a issue with this revolver? OR did he just get a bad one?

Hi David and welcome. The user likely shoots both 38 special and 357 special and did not clean between shooting the two. The shorter 38 special case leaves a carbon ring that causes the longer 357 magnum case to bind and not eject smoothy. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

If there was a problem with the model, Ruger would resolve it quickly. The reviewer is probably not performing the correct maintenance on the firearm.
