Help Dad conserve his hearing for all those special times ahead. 

Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the dads, grandfathers, husbands, and father figures who work hard, play hard, and appreciate gear that protects their hearing and lifestyle.

From dinner table conversations to hearing a child’s voice, enjoying music, working safely, or staying aware of surroundings, hearing plays an important role in everyday life. When hearing is compromised, simple moments can become more difficult, frustrating, and isolating. That is why hearing protection is more than a practical gift. It is a thoughtful way to help Dad stay connected to the people, work, and activities he loves.

This year, Radians Outdoors™ is spotlighting three hearing protection gift ideas at different price points to meet a variety of household budgets. Designed for dads who enjoy the hunting and shooting sports, outdoor projects, woodworking, home improvement, and other loud activities, these hearing protection products make thoughtful gifts that can be used long after Father’s Day while helping conserve Dad’s hearing for the special times ahead.

Ruger 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.

Ruger 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 Ruger.com/LCPMAXRetrofit.
