Ruger-57 Safety Notice

I just recieved an email from Ruger regarding their model 57.
Apparently there is an issue with the right side safety lever on some pistols. Metal fatigue can cause internal failure. Long story short, it might look like it’s on Safe and not be.
If you own a model 57 serial #
641-00000 through 642-26274 yours may be affected.
PLEASE perform a function check before and after each use.
If the pistol fails the function check they have a retrofit set up aiming for a 1 week turnaround.

Nathaniel - Did they offer a recall?

There is a free retrofit if yours is affected but the numbers so far don’t warrant a recall.
It looks like they’re in the fact finding stage still. From what I could piece together (& a few guesses)
one of the early suppliers of the safety levers had QC issues. Unfortunately they can’t tell which pistols those parts ended up on. Hence the really wide range of possible S/N’s despite the low frequency of reports.
