LCR357mag
Pocket carry everywhere HAS rusted out factory original spring 38 that was never SS
Went to replace this rust broken part only to find NO Stainless Steel/equal metal non-corrosive as a replacement.

Soooo the engineering IQ WAS & replacement options IS
to allow rust-out on an internal spring trapped inside an already tight cylinder until it fails at just the wrong time

IDEAL: Spring 38 available in 18/10 stainless PLEASE

???……..Welcome to the forum! Did you contact Ruger?

I understand the humidity is everywhere especially when carrying. It’s possible that the spring needs light oils to prevent deteriorating prematurely.
I would contact Ruger for a replacement.
