Ruger 22/45 light accuracy issue

Recently purchased this pistol and it is absolutely the most inaccurate Ruger I have ever owned and I have several. I have shot competition with them with full satisfaction but this one is at best good for 3 inches at 20 yards. Searching the internet I find several with the same complaint. Most say it is corrected by installing a rubber bumper supplied by Ruger. I contacted Ruger. She would not even admit rather there was even such a part available and my only option was to send it to them, think I’m going to dump it and take my lose.
 
Could just be a lemon. Glad to say mine shoots very well accuracy-wise. Why not send it back and see if they can do something with it. You may wind up with something good. If not, then dump it....with disclosure of course.

Maybe a little explanation for my abrupt reason for threatening to dump the gun. I have a major hearing issue, not volume as much as tone. The lady was doing her job but I couldn’t follow everything she was saying, so I asked about the Ruger part called a Grip Frame Bumper. She wouldn’t even discuss it so I terminated the call. Apparently this was something that was for the earlier MK IV’s. From what I have gathered it was never a cataloged item but special order as if and when needed, they do not provide them any more, apparently not needed on newer models. I found a source for the genuine Ruger part and ordered it along with the metal ball that goes with it. Since then I found that I can deal with warranty returns on line, maybe I can do it that way. Have considered fire lapping it but only as a last resort. In 30 years of part time gunsmithing I have done more then a few but visually this one doesn’t seem to be a prime candidate
 
I had a MK 3 lite that was terrible also. I really wanted to like that pistol as it mated with my suppressor perfectly but it was pretty much useless. I never tried to have it serviced as I figured that just how they were.
