What to do??

Well picked up the 2245 today from the gun shop where it was purchased, he also does gunsmith work. I've dealt with this shop for years and never a issue, so I was surprised when he told me that yes the gun was fine and good to go...But try as he had many he could not get the mainspring housing asse...

Yes the latch will not close its close to closing but it wont close, and I don't want to force it. The trigger feels like it would if you didn't have a mag in the gun and pulled the trigger is the best way I can describe it.

Well I've always been able to field strip & clean my pistols with no problem but the Ruger 2245...Well that's another story. I ordered a bushing to do the mag safety disconnect, no problem removing the old bushing & putting in the new one. Before reassembly I tried the mag release and the mag flies ...
