Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) announced that it is recalling all Mark IV pistols (including 22/45 models) manufactured prior to June 1, 2017.
Ruger recently discovered that the pistols have the potential to discharge unintentionally if the safety is not utilized correctly.
In particular, if the trigger is pulled while the safety lever is midway between the “safe” and “fire” positions (that is, the safety is not fully engaged or fully disengaged), the pistol may not fire when the trigger is pulled. However, if the trigger is released and the safety lever is then moved from the mid position to the “fire” position, the pistol may fire at that time.
