In this area, look for any signs of cracking. The third location is on the slide on the right side at the back of the ejection port. In each of these areas, some wear is expected, but evidence of heavy wear or repeated impacts between parts are indicative of the issue. The second area is on the slide, likewise where the barrel and slide meet. The first is the top of the barrel hood where the barrel meets the slide. Three spots on the firearm can be inspected for excess wear. Any models with a black nitride barrel, or guns in calibers other than 9mm, shouldn’t have any need to inspect. These issues are only present on certain Ruger American pistols in 9mm that have a silver barrel. It is also of note that the crack will be clear and visible long before the firearm becomes unsafe to shoot.
While this doesn’t generally occur below round counts near 10,000, it is easily inspected for and the retrofit to repair the problem is free and simple. Ruger has found that on certain 9mm American pistols, premature wear can cause a crack to develop near the ejection port of the slide.
