Ruger® Issues Product Safety Warning and Recall Notice of SR9™ Pistol
April 9, 2008
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE:RGR), announces that it has determined that Ruger SR9 pistols manufactured between October 2007 and April 2008 can, under certain conditions, fire if dropped with their manual safeties in the "off" or "fire" position and a round in the chamber. The pistols will not fire if the manual safety is in the "on" or "safe" position.
As a responsible manufacturer, we want to make our customers aware of this safety concern as soon as possible. Ruger is finalizing the design of a new trigger group which prevents firing when dropped and will retrofit at no charge all Ruger SR9 pistols with serial number prefix "330" (330-xxxxx). ...MORE

It's too bad they didn't get this gun right the first time, but I'm glad they are being responsible and taking care of the problem. I'd been thinking about getting one, but decided to hold off. In hindsight, that was probably a good idea.
