has this happened to anyone recently?

Wondering this myself. I JUST picked one up on Friday. Although, I did notice that this thread was last responded to in 2008, so I am hoping these problems have been worked out.

I did, however, notice that my new LCP does NOT have the diamond mark behind the hammer. I went back to the Ruger website for clarification and they don't state if any gun produced WITH the fix will have the mark, just the ones that were recalled and fixed.

If your gun has a 371 prefix s/n, it's a post-recall gun and will not have the diamond. The 370 prefix guns were subject to the recall. As far as the broken trigger issue, I don't think that that was part of the recall, but maybe Ruger has improved their materials/processes since the early ones.

I've had my LCP for over a year (371 series) and have never heard of the broken trigger issue until today. I'm not worried about it.

Great, thanks for the clarification! Yes, my gun is post-370.
 
Glock currently makes a .380, but they can't import it because it doesn't get enough points due to the small caliber (the GCA of 1968 created the "import points" system). Ironically, you can have a Glock in 10mm, which is potentially much more destuctive, but not a .380.

Anyway, my wife(!) just bought a LCP today, and being a 373 it is also post-recall but I'll be sure to pay attention and report any problems, even though I don't expect any.
 
I have an early 370 series "beta" LCP. I have over 1300 rounds thru it without one problem. At 1200 rounds I did (finally) send it in for the recall. I've put 100+ thru it since then. No problems before, no problems since. I love it and carry it daily. Ruger customer service was a pleasant surprise. I sent it in for the recall over a year after they announced it because Ruger sent me an email asking me why I hadn't sent it in. I told them it was my daily carry and I did not want to be without it for any length of time. They promised me a week turnaround so I sent it in on a Monday and had it back on Friday. I was very pleased with Ruger's customer service.
 
I shot my LCP for the first time today ... my hand still hurts. Ha ha!
 
Bought a lcp Friday and shot it Sunday. On the 30th round the trigger did not return to position. After cycling the slide a couple times the trigger still did not return and I then I noticed the head to the takedown pin was gone. My gun is a new 376. I had heard of problems when the lcp was new but are these guns still having these types of failures regularly?
