I went to pick up my new Ruger Single 7 in 327 today...
My dealer dealer called yesterday to tell me that my Ruger Single 7 in 327 was in, so I headed down to pick it up today.... Big disappointment...
Taking it out of the box and examining it, I found numerous flaws including:
Barrel / cylinder gap was .005 at the bottom and .015 at the top 
The grip frame, on the left side of the trigger guard, was VERY rough as cast metal that had never been cleaned up
One of the grip screw was beyond buggered up.... Bubba did a good job on this one!!!
The left side of the top strap had numerous crescent marks, I assume from the punch Bubba used when he drove in the rear sight pin.
The grips were up to 1/10" undersized from the grip frame in places. Looked like hell.....
Grip frame had lots of really sharp rough edges
Very poor polishing. Uneven and inconsistant.
I could deal with all of it myself except the barrel / cylinder gap; that's a deal breaker.... It's too bad because I was really excited about getting this to go with my other Ruger Single Sixes in 32 Mag.
So instead of coming home with me, this one is on its' way back to Lipseyes. No way that this one should have ever left the factory. I hope the next one shows a little more quality.....

Bummer when that happens. I had to send a GP100 back to Ruger earlier this year because the cylinder would not close after a few rounds. They fixed it quickly and all is well. I hope for similar results for you.
That's too bad...

I've had mixed results with Ruger SA's (and DA's for that matter). One will be perfect and the next not even close. I love the company but their QC stinks. Every time they send me a questionnaire asking what guns I'd like to see I email them back and say I love the guns they already have but would prefer them up the QC even if it means paying more. At this point I've weeded out all but the better guns in my collection and anything I add in the future will likely be FA's if talking SA revolvers.
