Ruger warranty sucks
[FONT=&]Why No Warranty Card Has Been Packed With Your New Ruger® Firearm?
The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637) does not require any seller or manufacturer of a consumer product to give a written warranty. It does provide that if a written warranty is given, it must be designated as "limited" or as "full" and sets minimum standards for a "full" warranty. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has elected not to provide any written warranty, either "limited" or "full", rather than to attempt to comply with the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Act and the regulations issued thereunder. There are certain implied warranties under state law with respect to sales of consumer goods. As the extent and interpretation of these implied warranties varies from state to state, you should refer to your state statutes. Sturm, Ruger & Company wishes to assure its customers of its continued interest in providing service to owners of Ruger® firearms.
Dan Wesson warranty still sucks but slightly less (5 years).
You can pick up the comparable DW model for about $1450 on gun broker , the Ruger has a couple more bells and whistles but it is 1750 wish.
Paying big bucks for a gun that the manufacturer does not have the guts to stand behind does not thrill me.

THE STI WARRANTY.
STI strives to provide our customers with the highest quality, most reliable guns possible. Simply put, if it breaks we fix it. Normal use, abuse or neglect of proper maintenance care are excluded. We stand behind the guns we build.
Ruger CS is supposed to be some of the best. I see that statement from them regarding warranty a way to say that the govt can go pound sand, but they will stand behind their product.
Right or wrong, for my money I'd rather have an STI Trojan or something similar with a no bs warranty than the Koenig with a just trust me warranty.
I think you are right, unless and until a new manager at Ruger changes things to try and increase profit like new managers always seem to do. They have been buttheads about things in the past (denying health benefits to employees that do not follow their motorcycle policy, refusing to sell parts to revolver smiths, etc) which makes me a bit more leery.

Smith & Wesson’s Lifetime Service Policy begins after the warranty period has expired. Smith & Wesson will repair, without charge, for the lifetime of the original owner, any Smith & Wesson handgun purchased on or after February 1, 1989, and any M&P15 series rifle, that is found to have a defect in material or workmanship. Eligibility for this Lifetime Service Policy requires returning the Product Registration Card within 30 days of purchase. The Lifetime Service Policy covers functional defects; it does not include the firearm’s finish, grips, magazines or sights. The Lifetime Service Policy is in addition to and not an extension of the Smith & Wesson Warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from State to State.
I guess my feeling is at this price point you should expect any manufacturer to put out a product that will be right out of the box the first time. We’re paying a premium for that attention to detail that should make these guns run right from the first shot to the 20,000th.
I think they are marketing for the under 70 crowd.
