[Private buyer]

My daughter recently purchased a new LCP Max from a local retailer. On the first trip to the range she was having difficulty hitting a 12x12 target at 5yds. When i shot the pistol i realized the point of aim, out of the box, was 6 inches low and 5 inches left at 5 yds! Great groups just nowhere remotely close to the sight picture. Since she lives alone in a major metro area i gave her one of my G3Cs which she shot very well and i now have the LCP Max. I checked on several forums and of course YouTube to find this is a common though undefined problem. When i contacted ruger customer service a vey very polite young lady named Jessica informed me, after being put on hold for her to ask someone else i suppose, that they could in fact fix the gun. However since i was not the original purchaser ruger doesn't consider me a legal owner and will not fix it our provide replacement parts for it. Moral of the story i suppose is private buyers beware. If you don't meet rugers definition of a legal owner you ain't getting any customer service from them.

She is the original purchaser. Have her send it back to Ruger. They will fix or replace if necessary. Ruger has great CS.

I'll second that about Ruger's customer service. Have your daughter (the original purchaser) send it back to them.

I find that little gun very difficult to shoot accurately even at 5 yards. Are you sure it's the gun and not the shooter?
