Some distributors may still offer it in blue. As long as Ruger has the ability to actually do it, they'll offer it as a distributor model option. Case in point, the blued Mark III Hunter with fluted bull barrel and HiViz sights I got. Ruger normally only offers something like that in stainless, but a distributor had ordered it in blue. I dislike stainless handguns. I find the glare distracting. I greatly prefer a darker finish. Getting it blued also saved me around $250. So I got my 22/45 Mark III, loaded with the works, in the finish I wanted, for a lot less money.
