RUGER® SR9™ PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING AND RECALL NOTICE
DO NOT USE YOUR RUGER SR9 PISTOLWe have determined that some 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. The pistols will not fire if the manual safety is in the “on” or “safe” position.
We will retrofit all Ruger SR9 pistols starting with serial number prefix “330” (330-xxxxx) with these new parts at no charge to our customers.
In order to ensure correct fitting, this new part must be installed at our Ruger factory in Prescott, Arizona. We will remove the old parts and install the new group promptly, at no charge, and will return the pistol to you. The old parts will not be returned.
For more information, visit the Ruger SR9 Recall page at ruger-firearms.com.

That’s too bad; I was rooting for Ruger. Tried the grips on one of these, and liked it. Very slim profile, feels like my 1911’s to some degree. But didn’t like the trigger, and that awful, tiny little safety. Ugh! I’m really glad I bought the M&P, especially now.
Hey Todd, on a related matter, Whatup with the M&P pistols forum? It’s completely offline, giving messages like: “IPS Driver Error:
There appears to be an error with the database.”
