Ruger LCP Recall
If this has been posted before forgive me(did a quick search to make sure), but I just visited ruger website www.ruger.com. At the top of the home page they have a link about the recall reguarding an issue with the LCP. Apparently sometimes the gun will fire if its dropped on a hard surface with a round in the chamber. It affects the guns with the prefix 370-xxxxx on their serial number.

Wow, first the SR9 had a recall with a similar issue and now the LCP.

Thought this was interesting

We want to remind gun users that, for maximum safety when carrying any pistol with a loaded magazine in place, the chamber should be empty, and the slide should be closed. Any gun may fire if dropped or struck.

Very interesting . . . sounds like legal CYA . . .

Kudos to Ruger for not trying to sweep it under the rug by calling it an "Upgrade" like a certain Smyrna, GA company that rhymes with crock... as in "what a ...".

Agreed. I hate that Ruger is having these problems. Other than the trigger feeling like a bag of chips (very crunchy when I dry fired only one) on the SR9, they didn't feel too bad to me. The LCP, well, heard lots of good things about the fit finish and reliability from folks on here. Hate they are having the problems.

I agree . . . I am a Ruger fan, and hate they are having difficulties. Never owned one of their autos, though.

Id think most existing ones have that prefix, I just picked up mine saturday from the guys at gun depot and its included in the recall. It was made around september 19 according to the test fire casing packet. I put 200 rds through it with out a hiccup, and I was happy with it. I just started pocket carry of it today, but now I guess Ill go back to my old Kel Tec 3AT until I can get it fixed.

Yet another reason I'm glad I waited on getting one of these. Never buy a new product the first year is out.
