If by "all the info" you mean a banner and a dead link, then sure...

Can you summarize, since Ruger apparently can't?

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).

SR9 owners can obtain information or register for the recall by:
• Visiting the Ruger website at: Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.
• E-mail: SR9recall@ruger.com
• Fax: 928-541-8873
• Calling the Ruger SR9 Recall Hotline at 800-784-3701 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. EDT.

When Ruger is ready to retrofit a consumer's pistol, Ruger will send a shipping box, label and instructions for the FREE return of the SR9 pistol to our factory in Prescott, Arizona. Work will be completed promptly at no charge to the consumer and the pistol will be returned at Ruger expense. All owners will receive a FREE SR9 magazine as a "thank you" for their patience and cooperation.

All owners of Ruger SR9 pistols are urged not to use their pistol until it has been retrofitted with these new factory parts. If owners must use their SR9 pistol, the manual safety should be kept in the "on" or "safe" position except when actually firing.

I'm in the same boat. Just got it last week too.

whyipackmy45 · April 10th, 2008, 02:00 AM

I just got mine yesterday!

My serial starts with 330 too.

At first I was angry, until I saw the free mag.

Thank you for participating in the SR9 recall. Your information has been received and is being processed.

When we are ready to retrofit your SR9, we will send you a shipping label and shipping box with instructions so you can return your pistol to us FREE of charge. Once we have received your SR9, we will install the new trigger group and return it to you FREE of charge. We also will send you a FREE extra magazine as a 'thank you' for your patience and cooperation. We will make every effort to return your pistol within one week, so we will not ask you to send it to us until we are ready to receive it. We expect to begin sending shipping labels and boxes in mid-May.

REMEMBER, DO NOT LOAD OR FIRE YOUR PISTOL UNTIL IT HAS BEEN FACTORY RETROFITTED WITH NEW PARTS! IF YOU MUST FIRE YOUR PISTOL, BE SURE TO KEEP THE MANUAL SAFETY IN THE 'ON' OR 'SAFE' POSITION EXCEPT WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY FIRING.

Thank you,
Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.

After shipping, mags are $50! So we're getting a pretty good deal

Sounds like Ruger is going to be responsible about it. Free shipping, they're going to try to deliver 1-week turnaround, and a free magazine for your trouble.

Also the "flaw" doesn't sound too severe; just keep the dang safety on.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

Yeah seriously.

1) Who drops their gun?
2) Who drops their gun with the safety off?

I wonder if an incident caused this recall, or if they're doing it preemptively.

It's that old risk management strategy...

Take the number of faulty products in the market place, multiply by calculated risk of an incident, multiply that by the average settlement amount - if that number is more than it would cost to do a recall, then you do a recall

Peace,
