Recalls.
The new P238 has a MANDATORY Safety Upgrade, apparently the safety lever is not machined to spec and can not engage properly, it won't fire with the safety "almost on" but once you disengage the safety the Hammer can fall causing an AD.
No injuries reported, and as far as we all know, nothing of the sort with the LCP or SR9 either. Ruger took the initiative after their own testing to find issues with design or manufacture, as Sig has done with it's newest pistol the P238. The only difference is that Sig says it's from out of spec parts, Ruger redesigned a few parts in both guns. Either way, both of which shouldn't have happened on either one.

No mention of free Mags or even a Hat with the "Upgrade", they're also not calling it a recall.
I happen to like the P238, though I haven't gotten to hold one yet, but am turned off by the pricetag, LGS is over $500.
