I'm a big Glock fan since my first G17 back in the 80's but Glocks have their issues. Ever heard of "Glock leg" among LEO's? Or kabooms from lead bullet build-up? Or frame cracking in 40's? Last but not least, they are ugly. I prefer Walther's P99 for some of the same adverse-environment polymer frame reliability in a nicer-looking package.
If you want to recommend top quality why not push Sig Sauer? To me they represent the finest mass-produced sidearms at a price that doesn't make me gag like H&K's stuff.

That's kind of d!ck response...
A. I would contend that the OP "deserves" to purchase a weapon which is free of defects, operates safely and reliably, and does not require 3-4 weeks time to be lost with a bunch of manufacturer grab-a$$.
B. Said grab-a$$ seems to ME, in MY OPINION, to be worth a gesture above and beyond simple replacement, especially if the weapon owner will have to be without said weapon for an extended period of time. Honestly, I would have to think twice about owning another weapon of the same model as my confidence in their QC would be rattled. That's for the OP to decide, and if you disagree with me, that's fine, but I can do without your self-righteous eye-rolling.
C. Their "good service" remains to be seen. Having a self-defense weapon exhibit a potentially dangerous manufacturing flaw which might present risk to the owner and then leaves him without protection for 3-4 weeks is not 'good service', again IMHO.
If that's the way you roll, God bless ya. If you think the OP should get down on his knees and beg Ruger to play nice because they delivered a defective and dangerous item, fine. I think an additional gesture of good will is not out of line.
And, for whatever it's worth, I don't remember seeing any of your snarky comments on all the posts about people raking Honda over the coals about defects or 'issues' with their S2000s...

He's more than lucky to get a new one.

Read again. He "dropped" the clip (please say magazine). That is slang for removing the magazine. Nothing should have fallen off his gun other than the magazine. And drop-free mags should be durable enough to hit the floor a few times without damage.

Thanks for clearing that up.
