Ruger?

Why do they have so many guns listed as "discontinued" on their web site?

Every manufacturer discontinues a particular set of model #'s every now and then. I would imagine Ruger is going to make some slight changes, and then reintroduce those guns with a new model #.

Ruger has been discontinuing their Decock only models lately. With the SR9 (and future .40 and .45 versions I'm sure) I wouldn't be surprised to see the P-series phased out.

They seem to be winnowing out the P-series guns entirely.

Not surprised there either as they seem to be "revamping" toward the SR series (hopefully they get the initial SR9 issues resolved quickly). I'd like to have an SR45 :D.

That don't mean I'm getting rid of my P90 though :D.

No. Way.

The P89 sales were strong, yet it is gone. The Decocker’s were a fan favorite, yet they are also gone. Most Ruger fans would love to have a PC9 or a PC4 to accompany their Ruger pistols yet Ruger discontinued it. The P-series has a strong following especially with the P90, P89, P97 and the P95. The P93 and P94 were supposed replace the P89 yet the P89 outlasted both of them. Only time and the public’s reaction to the SR9 will tell?

I bought a P97 in early 2000 and it's been a great performer. It's the only "plastic pistol" I own.

I went ahead and got the Davidson's special P89 specifically because it looked like they were getting rid of the line and I don't care for the SR.

the only handgun I own that isn't a revolver is a ruger p345. love it. swear by it. and ill probably buy another one if they are going to be discontinued. I've heard good things about the sr9's but id rather have a p-series anyday.

Ruger does seem to be moving toward the SR-xxx series, and discontinuing the P-xxx series.

Will be intereseting to see if they bring out an SR-40 or 45. I really like my KP-90 manual safety model.

Other side of the coin is that you know it's discontinued. I've seen some sites that just remove inactive product and you are left to guess if it has been discontinued or if they just messed up on the web page.

Ruger sr9 is junk

If you're going to bother posting, you might as well mention why you think SR9s are junk.

I like mine.

I ain't sellin' my P90 OR my P85. The P90 is a decocker, too.

Ruger sr9 are junk

Seeing as EVERY Ruger auto-loading pistol has a rock solid reputation for reliability, i doubt this. The SR9 seems to be just as well made to me.

Secondly, i don't see the point of the "recall". I know Ruger has to put it out there to cover their butts, But i don't think i would have sent mine back. So the gun MAY go off if its dropped on a loaded chamber? Isn't that true of ALL guns? Iv always just assumed that it is.

I bought one 1/25/08 safety doesn't work right miss fires .They have a recall on them .I haven't been able shoot mine for 6mon. And i still haven't heard from Ruger.

Discharging from an unintentional drop doesn't (okay DIDN'T) happen with my M1911A1. I think the industry spec is dropping it from some ridiculous height like 30 ft, and mine didn't drop that far. But neither did it discharge.

"7/11/08 Update – We are now retrofitting SR9 pistols and continue to send shipping boxes to customers on a weekly basis. As you will see, a number of parts have been changed in the new design. Click here to view PDF of the retrofit changes. Please remember that the pistols will be retrofitted on a first-come, first-served basis, so there may be a delay in receiving your shipping box, depending upon when you registered for the recall. Thank you for your patience."

I'd take a "P" over a "SR" any day of the week.

Looked over the overpriced SR in the store--and yes---its junk---don't waste your money.

When Bill Ruger died it was kinda of a blessing to the company (kinda)
You've already witnessed several changes already at Ruger since he's passed away.
Get a 2008 catolog and you'll see what I mean.

Expect more changes and new lines of firearms from Ruger in the future and I think it's Great !!!

Just a few changes and new lines...
Hawkeye boltaction
Another Mini 14
SR-9
LCP 380
and others and it's only going to get better...A.H

Ruger has also discontinued their great .44 Army percussion revolver. That's the one I'm really sorry to say goodbye to.

Has anyone got the box to return gun yet. If so did they fix the gun

Gunblast.com did a write up. Sounds like there's some significant changes -- there's a new Glock-ish trigger safety, for one.

Some of the discountined guns are those with the rosewood grips but they still make the gun with a black rubber grip. I was looking at their Blackhawks and it seems to be that way.

I have a P-95, and I love it. Its not as "cool" looking as alot of other autoloaders, but its still a great gun.

I own a SR9. After over 700 rounds I've never had a misfire, which I can't say the same about a HK USP that I recently shot only two clips through. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

Yep, internal locks are a wonderful thing.

What's the point of interest?

Another Mini 14

In 6.8 SPC instead of completing the development of the .308 they had in the works not long ago. It's still a mini and still isn't going to be all that accurate. Expensive ammo + low capacity magazines+ less than stellar accuracy = fail.

SR-9

Yay!! another plastic gun. This time with factory recalls right after it hits stores!

LCP 380

KelTec P3AT slightly modified with the ruger name on it. Quality issues abound currently.

and others and it's only going to get better...A.H

Maybe, maybe not. I bet it won't be long before ALL of the Ruger line comes with locks.
