Maybe it's that particular bullet the gun doesn't like.
Have you tried other weight or shape bullets?
Especially 124 grain fmj ball ammo.
Sometimes guns can be as persnickety as people about their diet.
Most 9mms are designed around the good old 124 grain fmj ball, like .45s are designed around the 230 grain ball.
If that's the case with yours, sending it to Ruger might not accomplish anything.
If they test it with 124 ball, and it passes, it'll come right back as good to go.

I've got a Taurus PT 709 Slim that does not like Berrys old style hollow point bullets. It will cycle them if you shorten the COAL to 1.050" (the powder load is reduced of course).
It loves cast 124 grain Round Nose bullets and cycles them great with a COAL of 1.125"
Yes guns are funny.
