R***r has discovered that in some LCP MAX manual safety models, the recess that retains the safety lever detent spring may not be machined properly. When this condition is present, the safety lever detent spring can become dislodged under the recoil of firing. If this happens, the manual safety lever will have no resistance and will not remain in the "safe" position. If present, the condition typically will emerge after firing 50-100 rounds through the pistol and the condition will be readily apparent when attempting normal operation.
Note that if this condition occurs, the other safety mechanisms in your pistol, including the trigger safety, are not affected and will still function properly.
R***r is committed to safety and is warning consumers of the potential for this condition to occur. If you experience the condition described above, please stop using your pistol immediately and arrange for its retrofit by providing your serial number and contact information using the form at R***r.com/LCPMAXRetrofit.
What Pistols Are Potentially Affected?
Only LCP MAX Manual Safety models with a serial number below 383100000 are potentially affected. Other models of the LCP MAX, LCP MAX pistols equipped from the factory with the Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip ("EHG"), regardless of serial number, and other models of the LCP are not affected.
We request that you provide a copy of the Safety Bulletin to customers who own LCP MAX Manual Safety models and encourage them to sign up for the Safety Bulletin if their pistols have ever exhibited this condition.
Details about what to look for, a serial number lookup and instructions on how to sign up for the retrofit are available at R***r.com/LCPMAXRetrofit.
