You embellish the liability aspect which we all understand. However the "design flaw" comment is still valid. Not too many pistols with these safety features will quickly break the firing mechanism with just a little dry firing(with magazine removed). Ruger designers could have taken time to design the same safety feature that would not break the firing mechanism with dry firing.mohavesam said:I don't believe the "design flaw" comments at all. The extra safety is an effort to idiot-proof a deadly weapon in the hands of 99% of owners.
Presuming one had a billion-dollar factory with thousands of employees depending on your paycheck, and many thousands of stockholders financing your business, you'd probably demand your engineering dept put the extra safety in the product. And you'd probably insist the manual states that any functional modification of the product release the company from all liability (in big red lawyer letters).
YMMV.
