Ruger Mark IV Safety & recall

Post by wittmeba »

Looks like Ruger has a similar problem to the Taurus -- accidental firing.

Funny because this is the reason why the state of mASSholechusetts had banned the sale of this handgun a little while before doing the AR rifles.

Anybody else remember the first Mark 3's?
The loaded chamber indicator rested directly on the rim of the loaded cartridge and if hit just right would fire that round.
It didn't take long at all for a recall to go out.
It seems to me that Ruger has a history of rushing things into production without proper testing/review.
