In 2008, Ruger received a small number of reports from the field indicating that LCP pistolscould discharge when dropped onto a hard surface with a round in the chamber. We are firmlycommitted to safety and would like to retrofit all older LCP Pistols. The retrofit involvesinstallation of an upgraded hammer mechanism at no charge to the customer.
How to determine if your pistol needs the retrofit:• All LCP pistols with serial number prefix "371" and higher (371-xxxxx) have been
manufactured with the new hammer mechanism and are NOT affected by the recall and DONOT need to be returned.
• If your LCP has a serial number prefix "370" you will need to check the flat portion of the slot just behind and below the hammer for adiamond mark. As shown in Figure 1, LCPs marked with the diamond have had the new hammer mechanism installed and DO NOTneed to be returned.
• If your LCP has the "370" serial number prefix and DOES NOT HAVE the diamond mark, we recommend you have your LCPretrofitted with the upgraded hammer mechanism at no charge.
How to arrange to have your pistol retrofitted:Step 1 - Contact us and provide your name, address, telephone number and LCP serial number. Provide your information by any ofthe following: Email: [email protected]; Fax: (928) 541-8873; Phone: LCP Recall Hotline 1-800-784-3701 (available Monday -Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EDT).Step 2 - We will send you a shipping label and package with instructions so you can return your pistol to us FREE of charge.Step 3 - We will install the new hammer mechanism, plus some other functional upgrades that we added since the LCP’s introduction,and return your LCP to you, all FREE of charge. When we do, we also will send you a FREE magazine as a “thank you” for yourpatience and cooperation. We will make every effort to return your pistol within one week of receipt.
In 2008, we determined that some Ruger SR9 pistols manufactured between October 2007 and April 2008 could, under certainconditions, fire if dropped with their manual safeties in the "off" or "fire" position. The pistols will not fire if the manual safety is in the "on"or "safe" position.
We will retrofit all affected SR9 pistols (those with serial number 330-29999 or lower) with these parts at no charge to our customers. Inorder to ensure correct fitting, the new parts must be installed at our Ruger factory in Prescott, Arizona. We will remove the old partsand install the new trigger group promptly, at no charge, and will return the pistol to you. The old parts will not be returned.
How to determine if your pistol needs the retrofit:It is easy to determine if your pistol has been retrofitted by simply looking at it. Although boththe old and new trigger group have a two-stage trigger, the original design had an inner “shoe”that was not visible and, therefore, appeared to be a single trigger (See Figure 2). The newtrigger design incorporates a visible inner trigger of a blade design (See Figure 3).
If you own an SR9 Pistol bearing a serial number below 30000 (that is, 330-29999 or less) thathas not been retrofitted, please contact us immediately to arrange return of the pistol.
How to arrange to have your pistol retrofitted:Step 1 - Contact us and provide your name, address, telephone number and SR9 serialnumber. Provide your information by any of the following: Email: [email protected];Fax: (928) 541-8873; Phone: SR9 Recall Hotline 1-800-784-3701 (available Monday - Friday,9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EDT).Step 2 - We will send you a shipping box with instructions so you can return your pistol to usFREE of charge.Step 3 - We will install the new trigger group in your SR9 and return it to you FREE of charge.When we do, we also will send you a FREE magazine as a “thank you” for your patience andcooperation. We will make every effort to return your pistol within one week, so we will not askyou to send it to us until we are ready to receive it.Do not load or fire your pistol until it has been factory retrofitted with these new parts! If you must fire your pistol, be sure to keep themanual safety in the "on" or "safe" position except when you are actually firing.
