News from Ruger

[theturtle06]

How about semi-autos that don't look like boat anchors.

Have you handled the SR-series pistols? They're slimmer in the grips than say, a Glock, and substantially slimmer than the P-series (not that it takes much )

I LOVE their revolvers, but would almost rather carry a hi-point than their semis....lol I really don't have any experience with the semis but can only assume they are over built (like a brick outhouse) the same way they overbuild their wheel guns. It's not a bad thing really. I'm confident that I couldn't possibly ever hurt or wear out my sp101.

They're built with quality, rather than huge hulking masses of overbuilt metal/plastic like the P-series. The one in the rental case at the shop I work at has 50k rounds or so through it and it's pumping right along. Of course a bit of wear from abuse, but it's a stout pistol. The SR9 that is.

I love Rugers cause they work! I could drop money on a 1911 that will need "tinkering" to work reliably or spend it on a Ruger that will work every time I pull the trigger out of the box.

My 1911s never took any tinkering

I love Ruger! At least the consistent dividends they pay.

+1 on that, Bill. Ruger has driven a large portion of my stock returns over the post-Obama era. They are selling every gun they make and that is pretty amazing considering our economy. Despite their founder's "problems", their current management knows how to sell guns!

Ruger has been working on a 1911. I am waiting with anticipation.

The first 100 yr anniversary 1911 would be interesting.

Apparently whatever the big news - it's coming tomorrow (Monday 1/3) @ 2PM. Just got an email from Ruger a couple minutes ago.

RUGER


"Has undoubtedly created the next firearm you ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE!" Quoted from the Ruger e-mail I received.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow Janurary 3rd at 2:00pm.

This sure sounds like something more than a SR40c to me now.

 

[thoffman]

i wanna know what it is! i dont like this waiting game

 

[dom1104]

It would take a LOT to excite me coming from Ruger, they havent made one gun I would like to have for ... well ever.

But.. they DID say they "UNDOUBTEDLY" made the next firearm I "ASBSOLUTLY" must have...

So it sounds like I dont have a choice.

It will probably be some .410 redneck revolver like a Judge. But 2x as heavy.

A 9mm LCP or a Ruger-flavored 1911 would be tasty. So would a Ruger SR-308 or M1 to go along with their ARs and Mini 14's. Although unlikely, I'd like to see them do a high-cap Mark III. I know making a double-stack rimfire feed reliably is tough, but if Kel-Tec can stuff 30 rnds of. 22 mag in the PMR, why can't Ruger do something similar with a. 22 LR?

My final guess is an SR1911.

 

[Will0369]

It would be nice to see an SR .45 but that would be wishfull thinking.

 

[andyrping]

A few things I'd like to see:

*5-shot .44 Special 3" GP100 --> that would be F'n sweet

*4" SP101's chambered both in .357 and .327

*Return of the .22 SP101 - Ruger has no DA .22 in thier line-up anymore.

*.327 rifle i.e. a 77/.327

*.357 rifle i.e. 77/.357

*5-Shot .454 Blackhawk with Bisley grip frame in both 4-5/8's and 5.5 barrels

*An all steel centerfire semi-auto - no plastic, no aluminium. Pick a caliber.

*.41 magnum chambered GP100's

*Bisley's with fluted cylinders instead of that roll marking crap and bring back the shorter barrel offerings insead of just the 7.5".

*"Sheriff's Model" 3.75" Super Blackhawk

More will probably come to mind here in a bit.......

 

[dom1104]

Its a cheap-o 1911.

wank.

 

[redpitbull44]

Who cares, its a Ruger. I have had a number of bad experiences with them, from the 10/22 I had that wouldn't shoot minute of elephant at 50 yards, to the brand new single action pistol I handled that was broken, FROM THE FACTORY! I won't own a Ruger now. YMMV

Wow! YMMV is right. My mileage with all my Rugers has been way different.

 

[singlesix]

Love my 10/22; 22/45 and Singlesix (the gun not me).

 

[thoffman]

whats YMMV

Your Mileage May Vary

 

[thoffman]

ahhh thank you lol
only an hour to see what they have in store for us ruger lovers. it better be good tho, making me wait for a ranch rifle or 22 will not make me happy
id like to see the sr40c or 1911 or a lcp in 9mm, all 3 would be ideal

 

[mk2ja]

Ruger LC9?

Heard it somewhere else but can't confirm because it is blocked by work's firewall. Anybody have details they can put in here yet?!

 

[jrh84]

LC9 It Is

7+1 capacity, 6" total length, 17 oz, $443 MSRP = probably $375 retail (after the initial rush). Not bad!
