Ruger recently discovered that all Mark IV™ pistols (including 22/45™ models) manufactured prior to June 1, 2017 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), then 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.

We understand this is an inconvenience, so when we return the grip frame assembly to you, we will give you an extra magazine, free of charge. That’s a $29.95 value. For customers in states with magazine shipping restrictions, we will send you a ShopRuger.com gift certificate in lieu of the magazine.
