The Ruger LCP Recall

Since I am a happy owner of the Ruger LCP, I figured it could not hurt to mention that there is currently a recall by the manufacturer for all LCP's with the serial number prefix "370". It has been determined that, if dropped forcefully, the LCP could potentially discharge a round in the chamber, though no incidents have yet been reported.

The recall process is quite amazing and "370" owners should not hesitate to participate. The turnaround time is about 2-3 weeks, shipping is covered both ways by the manufacturer, and they throw in an additional magazine with finger grip for the trouble. There is even an 800 number you can call to speak with a live human being who can give you the status of your firearm.


The good folks over at Gunblast.com also have posted a review of the pre and post-recall LCPs.
