First of all, limited edition was I believe 1,000 units which to me is not limited.
I don't think it matters if you have recall performed or not. It can always be done by a future owner if you don't feel like it.

I would. I'd think it'd help the resale value, seeing as the work has already been done n' all.
I'd let Ruger do the upgrade. Selling point is the gun is safer with the recall work done.
I sent mine in for the recall and to have a new barrel. My barrel was coming loose when cleaning. Other then shipping, Ruger only had the gun ONE day for the repairs and then sent it back to me.
I think their Customer Service is superb.

Yeah I agree.
While I don't think the guns are necessarily unsafe as they are, it would ultimately be more safe and any future buyers might get the warm n' fuzzy by seeing that cute little "S" in the white dot safety.
I bought a new MK IV Lite. Only bought it because I finally received my government papers for my .22 suppressor and needed a threaded barrel to start the fun. My Browning Buckmark, that I have had for a long time is not threaded so I had to make a move.
Little did I know that I bought a pistol that is under recall, grrrrrr. Have fired the new one a few times and it ran perfectly. The only thing is that I nearly needed two fingers to pull the trigger. Going to need a Volquartsen kit to make it shootable for my purposes. There is goes another $120.00, again grrrrrr.
Should have just bought a Tactical Solutions threaded barrel for my old Buckmark .22 and called it a day.
This is the second new Ruger purchase in a row that I have been disappointed in. I may be sort of over them for a while till they get their act together.

Just wanted to add a couple of points of for info to those who have not returned their frames yet.
1) Given my (2) frames had been upgraded with Volquartsen parts already, I had to tear them down prior to sending them in for rework. However, rather than rebuild the frame again , I just dumped all the factory internal parts into a bag and included it for them to rebuild. ( I retained the grips, grip screws and mag)I'm thinking it saved us both some labor.
2) It took about 9 days from mailing them out to receiving them back. ( I got the notice/invoice that they had been received at 7 days.
As an aside, I sent my Volquartsen sears in for modification the same day and just got word they have shipped back. Good timing!
3) The frames arrived in as new condition with the new free mags installed.
It's of no matter to me as I'll be installing my (modified) Volquartsen parts in again but the trigger feels worse than ever. A bit heavier and ALLOT of creep. Almost makes me want to get the stones out to improve the trigger without aftermarket parts but that's a new story.
Hope this is of value to someone going forward.

I didn't read every post in this thread but just skimming I see a lot of doubters. It's a fine pistol and the recall didn't mean much to me...Smith has had their share. Ruger turned mine in a week and even removed the right side safety at my request, they didn't have to do that but no problem. Impressed with how they took care of me. And think what you will but the new field strip is a fine piece of engineering.
Tip of the hat to the other great American gun maker!

Took about a week to get the return box. Got the "fixed" pistol back in 4 days, (I live in AZ). Pretty good customer service. That extra mag. is nice to have too!
