RUGER-57\u2122 SAFETY BULLETIN<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Ruger has discovered that a small number of Ruger-57 pistols may have right safety levers that do not meet our specifications and may be prone to cracking. Although only a very small number of pistols appear to be affected, Ruger is committed to safety and is asking owners of Ruger-57 pistols to perform a routine function check of the safety lever to ensure its proper operation.\u00a0If the function check confirms that the safety lever is operating properly, no further action is required.<\/strong><\/em><\/u>\u00a0If you find that your pistol’s safety lever is not functioning properly, please\u00a0sign up<\/a>\u00a0for this retrofit.\u00a0View Safety Bulletin PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

Products Subject to This Safety Bulletin<\/h3>\n

<\/a>Potentially affected pistols include any Ruger-57 pistol with a serial number of 642-26274 or lower (including all Ruger-57 pistols with a \u201c641\u201d prefix). If your Ruger-57 pistol is within this range (641-00000 to 642-26274), you should follow the inspection procedure outlined below to determine whether your pistol requires a retrofit.\u00a0Ruger-57 pistols with a serial number of 642-26275 and above are not affected by this Safety Bulletin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Description of the Issue<\/h3>\n

In some rare instances, the internal “leg” of the right safety lever may crack or break, rendering the manual safety ineffective. If present, this condition may cause the manual safety to appear to be functioning properly when it is not. Although Ruger already instructs owners of Ruger-57 pistols to perform a function check before each use, we are requesting that all owners of potentially affected pistols perform this safety inspection immediately.<\/p>\n

How to Inspect Your Pistol<\/h3>\n

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, BE SURE YOUR PISTOL IS UNLOADED AND THERE IS NO LIVE AMMUNITION IN YOUR WORKSPACE.<\/strong><\/p>\n
