I don't think Ruger will make any announcements before SHOT show. They are making a distributer exclusive run of .44 special SA revolvers. First batch is supposed to ship late Jan. or early Feb. (According to internet gossip).
 
I'd say they will probably come out with a compact 9mm version of the SR-9. Mike Bane hinted right after the SR-9 was originally released before all the recall mess ensued.
 
All with magazines of ten rounds or fewer. Right, Billy Boy?

THIS JUST IN !

Bill Ruger DIED........July, 2002

I thought it might be news to some here.....

:D
 
I hate to sound like a smuck, but when I buy a Ruger anymore, I always buy an old one. The newest Ruger I own is a Mark II and it's not a really new gun is it. I also have a Mark I bull barrel.

The Mark II is better than a Mark I because the bolt locks back after the last shot.....usually..... When I shoot my Mark I I'm always letting the firing pin down on the empty chamber, which means, of course; that the pin barks the edge of the chamber.

Otherwise I have an 80's Single Six, which I like.

I own a pretty new 10/22 mag, which might be worth something as a door stop.....maybe the worst gun I've ever owned. Ruger designers should be shot for designing and actually selling that 10/22 mag. The only thing is, if they were shot at with a 10/22 mag they'd be safe as the gun wouldn't go off.

I used to love all Rugers and I used to tell people, "If you want to buy a gun try Ruger first". I no longer say that.

If you want an auto buy a glock or a High Power (Also a Kimber, others). If you want a rifle buy a Savage or a Remington. If you want a shotgun by a Browning or a Remington. (there are lots others, of course.)

Now-a-days I look at Ruger last.

And those ten round rotary magazines for their 10/22? About half of mine don't work.

Bill Ruger was a great gun maker and a competent businessmen. Since his demise something happened at Ruger and it's not good.
