Just saw this today. Ruger has a very good record with recalls and repairs for any safety issue.

I would rate the recall over the Mark III loaded-chamber indicator as more serious than this one. Bumping the original loaded-chamber indicator would fire the gun. (It's interesting that that entire feature was dropped in the Mark IV.)Ruger is a good company but definitely gets a black eye over this fiasco.
Can it be disassembled by simply pushing the button on the back of the frame? If so, then you have a MkIV. It not, and you need to hold your mouth just right to reassemble, then it is a MkIII (or II or I or Standard Model).How do you know if you have a mk 3 or mk4? I have a 22/45 and it isn't on identified on markings either way.
Bought it used last fall.
