It is in stock. The recall is for Mark IVs made before June 1st, 2017, which is most all of them. The only way to be sure is to call buds when they open in the morning and chech the serial number of the one you are buying. If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer". Thank you.

Yes it is in stock now far as the rest of your questions you need to call Sales & Customer Service at (859) 368-0371

Item is in stock for purchase. All Mark IV™ pistols produced prior to June 1, 2017 are potentially affected and therefore are being recalled. This includes Mark IV™ Target, Hunter, Competition, 22/45™, 22/45™ Lite and 22/45™ Tactical models. These models bear serial numbers beginning with "401" (2017 models) or "WBR" (2016 models). Firearms NOT subject to the Recall Newly manufactured Mark IV™ pistols will begin with serial number "500." Thus, if you have a Mark IV™ or 22/45™ pistol with a serial number beginning with the number "5," your pistol is not subject to the recall. Firearms That Have Been Retrofitted Already Finding Retrofit Marking Mark IV™ and 22/45™ pistols retrofitted with the updated safety mechanism are easily identified by the letter "S" in the white safety dot that is visible when the safety is engaged.

It is in stock and seems reasonable to believe it has been corrected. But to be sure I would get verbal confirmation from Buds before buying. Call them at 1-859-368-0371 Mon-Fri 9am-9pm EST, or live chat. It doesn't make sense to me that they would continue to sell an item under a known recall, but it has happened before.
