well based on the email, the short amount of information, im guessing they are annoucing another model winning gun of the year. can't imagine they are annoucing a new product.

would love to see a 1911 from them, if im going to hope for a something new.

Something large, heavy, and ugly with a lot of cast parts?

 

[nheric]

sr45 ?

 

[dixidawg]

LCP in 9mm

 

[Beansie_Time]

LCR in .500 S&W?

 

[BerkshireHunter]

Is it that new bolt action 'scout' rifle that looks like a mini 14 but is chambered in .308?? I don't know, they said there new product has "done it again!" hmm

Must be it. http://www.ruger.com/news/2010-12-29a.html

So, was that it?

 

[bullseye]

If it is the M77 308, It'll Probably be in the 7-800 range, I'll wait for a used one at 500.

 

[Emoto]

It still says "tomorrow".

 

[bullseye]

I think they meant" next business day"

 

[walkit]

That Scout is $1000, or so I"ve read on another site, and that's 2x what it's worth, for sure. If you need "fast handling", you need an auto rifle. If a bolt action suffices, why not a Savage, for $500?

 

[CRSIII]

Apologies for the mini?

 

[nightpoison]

Doubt its the scout, they already announced it, and they wouldn't be doing all this build up for something they already announced. Looks like I was wrong on another award. Lets home for something good!

 

[TBalls]

Announcement is supposed to be Monday @ 2:00pm.

 

[Arto]

It looks like the scout is similar to SMLE#5?

Ruger Introduces LC9 Lightweight Compact 9mm Pistol
January 03, 2011
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), announces the LC9™, a lightweight, compact 9mm pistol for discreet carry by law abiding citizens, or a full-power, no-compromise backup for off-duty law enforcement officers. This highly requested pistol was developed through Ruger's Voice of the Customer program and incorporates the features and rugged reliability desired by Ruger customers.

 

[Emoto]

Larger and heavier than any of the competition.

Here is a photo of the product management process at Ruger:

Yeah, I was going to say. Must be the LC9. I just had an email come through about it.

 

[BerkshireHunter]

I guess they're banking on it being more powerful than a .380, smaller than most 9's, and more desirable than the other true compact 9s in its range ( e.g. the Taurus 709 slim.) We'll have to wait and see on this one...

 

[BerkshireHunter]

lc9

 

[Tater]

new ruger lc9 probably not mass legal as the lcp in .380 isn't

 

[ericcif]

Damn it Ruger!!! I already have the LCP, LCR, and SR9c but still want this.

 

[supton]

Hopefully this doesn't double post...

Interesting. I don't get it--it's not striker, but hammer fired, DAO. So it gets a safety? I didn't look close enough to see trigger pull, but this seems odd.
