Why Ruger MK3s and 22/45s were recalled in MA

Gunsmith buddy told me this one - owners of the pistols complain that the mags stick in the gun and are hard to remove due to the mag disconnect. For less than 10 bucks, aftermarket hammer bushings are available that disable the mag disconnect feature allowing the mags to drop free when pressing the mag release button. As the mag disconnects are so easy to disable, the AG took them off the approved list, and Ruger had to remove all unsold models from dealers shelves.
