Another Ruger Recall
Via NUGUN, it looks like the Ruger LCP has been recalled:
Ruger has recently received a small number of reports from the field indicating that LCP pistols can discharge when dropped onto a hard surface with a round in the chamber.
As Bane notes, the Ruger LCP has probably the biggest launch of any pistol ever. So, if you have one, get it fixed.
I still dig my Kel-Tec.

The engineers at Ruger must have missed something when they took the KelTec apart.

I have an LCP. I have confidence in it. Ruger customer service is exemplary. When I asked for the updated hold-back, they sent it to me at no charge. The LCP was the first gun I ever worked on, but I was able to make the change without much difficulty even though it is taken apart considerably to make the exchange.
The fact that they initiated a recall when it is not clear that they were required to do so increases my admiration for the company.
