I still really need to get me one of those, but I am glad I've held out so far.
Isnt the MK4 on the approved weapons roster? How did such an unsafe gun like this pass, but Glock- arguably one of the safest manufacturers in the world doesn't?
I love the look of the Hunter model, I'd like to get me one of those but I'm waiting for the price to come down.
I've got a very nice Mark III Hunter for sale if you're interested.
I already have a Mark II, I want the Mark IV for the new pushbutton disassembly feature.

I bought a Mk iv shortly after they came out, from Carl at 4 Seasons in Woburn. It's been flawless with CCI Mini-mag, Am Eagle, Velocitors, among others, although I generally use these, and I have about 600 rounds through it. I don't know if I'll send mine back, as I never rely on the safety anyways. My 2 daughters enjoy shooting this gun also. And the cleaning/reassembly? What a joy!
Thanks for posting this. My Hunter model is a recall. At least Ruger is throwing you a new mag as a "I'm sorry" about this.
Understood...but clearly the Mark IV's and their fancy new design are defective ;-)

IMHO it's straight silly to even consider withholding a firearm from the manufacturer after they've issued a recall notice. new models frequently have recalls and any honest gun owner should be sufficiently flexible to allow the manufacturer to fix it. Further, if one ever decides to sell the gun then it's going to be important that the issue has been addressed. In terms of resale, it's worth keeping the documentation that the particular serial # has been fixed.
All of this is total BS in my humble opinion.
Wanna know why you may not send it back for a recall.....ask all the xd owners about the recall on those......when they came back the triggers were like dragging an aluminum ladder down a dry river bed.
I'm still confused about this. So if you put the safety on pull the trigger and then put the safety off it might fire? Hell I don't even use the safety on 90% of my guns anyway. I think I'll just keep mine as is and only load around when I'm ready to fire

Yes, that is a nice incentive. But I note it says "customers in states with magazine shipping restrictions will receive a ShopRuger gift certificate in lieu of a magazine." Anyone know if MA fits into that category? I ask because S&W told me last year they could not ship a magazine to me (FS ended up accepting it on my behalf). But I've purchased magazines mail order since then, so I'm not sure what the story is.
