During my LEO career I had to use my revolver to defend myself and know these scenearios develop without warning. Grabbing the LCP from my pocket in an emergency, and discovering it’s a one shot wonder b/c the mag popped out, is not something I’m interested in experiencing. I’m going to call Ruger to see what they will do.

Before you give up on the LCP, for $9 get a Pachmayr grip sleeve for it. The rubber grip is over 1/8" thick, it sort of protects the mag release. Actually one of MY criticisms of the grip sleeve is it makes getting to the mag release a little harder than I would like it to be but it may work well for you in protecting it.
Just a thought.
