SERVICE AND PARTS POLICY
If you have any questions with regard to the performance of your RUGER
®
P-SERIES pistol, please write or call [phone] our Product Service
Department in Prescott, Arizona, fully describing all circumstances and condi-
tions involved. If you should return your pistol to the factory for repair, or order
parts for it, please comply with the following suggestions for prompt service:
SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The RUGER
®
P-SERIES Pistols are equipped with a rear sight which is
adjustable for windage only. After the rear-sight lock screw has been loosened
(for those pistols equipped with a rear sight lock screw), the rear sight can be
drifted laterally in its dovetail on the top of the slide by tapping it with a wood-
en- or plastic-headed hammer or similar implement. Move the rear sight in the
direction you want the shot to move on the target. After the rear sight is adjust-
ed, tighten the rear-sight lock screw. The front sight is fixed. Both front and rear
sights are provided with white-dot inserts for rapid target acquisition and easy
alignment of the sights to obtain a correct sight picture.

P-SERIES pistols returned to the factory for services or repair
should be sent to: Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., Product Service Department,
200 Ruger Road, Prescott, AZ 86301-6181. Telephone [phone].

The Federal Gun Control Act, as well as the laws of most States and localities, do
not prohibit an individual (who is not otherwise barred from purchasing or pos-
sessing a firearm) from shipping a firearm directly to the manufacturer for repair.
However, before you ship your pistol to us, be certain that your State or locality
does not have a law or regulation which will prohibit you from receiving the pistol
from us after it has been repaired. If such receiving is prohibited, then please have
a Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer ship the gun to us. If your pistol is sent to us
by a dealer, it will be returned to him after being repaired. If a handgun (pistol or
revolver) is shipped by an individual who does not hold a Federal Firearms
License, it must be shipped for overnight delivery via U.P.S., Federal Express or
other, similar private overnight service. NOTE: Firearms may not be shipped via
U.S. Mail. Persons who do not hold a Federal Firearms License are prohibited by
Federal law from shipping a handgun by Mail. Handguns mailed in violation of the
law are impounded by the Post Office.
Please do not include holster, custom grip panels, or accessories with a firearm
being shipped to the factory for service. DO NOT SEND GUN BOXES OR LITERA-
TURE THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE COLLECTOR’S ITEMS – THESE ARE
INVARIABLY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED IN SHIPMENT. Always insure your
shipment.
