Why don't they just bring back the P-90?
Make it from a forged alloy, smooth the lines, good sights, and offer a compact version.
Winnah!
because the market spoke and the P90 sucks.

alot of people liked the ergos of the sr22 but not the sr9,40,45 etc. this new pistol looks like a bigger sr22 and hopefully has improved ergos. my only complaint is how slick the grips look, not much texturing at all. if they keep the price sub $500 i think it could be successful
Because the SR9 is kinda shitty looking, and larded up with shitty features like a manual safety nobody wanted and a flare launcher that goes off every time you chamber a round... and they had to make a product that would stand out and apart from that, that's why.

Saw that ruger is releasing a new pistol. I'm wondering why they decided on a new line instead of expanding/updating the SR pistols

I can't think of a more solid .45, other than a Sig 220.
The only .45 more "American" would be the 1911 itself.
The SR pistols have polymer frames too right? Unless you weren't answering the original questionBecause molded polymer is cheaper than steel? Maybe.

Doesn't look too bad. A bit like a VP9.
i thought the same thing. But the mil spec calls for a modular chassis which eliminates almost everyone.Could it be related to the US Military's desire for an updated handgun? It could be a variant of Ruger's efforts.

That's what talon grips are for. I have the skateboard texture on my sr9c and love it. I am thinking about putting some on my glock 20 because I think it needs more grip. I might try the rubber this time.
Holy shit!
Check out the snazzy video they've put up on their website.

Looking through they have several videos on the features and field stripping already.
Definitely looks like this is going after the LE/Mil market.
Looks to me like they are getting more serious about going after military and law enforcement contracts. The SR series is more consumer oriented.
