Does anyone know why Ruger discontinued this model?

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.

I know the P series are solid guns but they are heavy and ergonomically inferior to many.

And to others they are ergonomically superior and don't feel all that heavy! I know this is the "Revolvers" board, but I just have to take up for the P-series autos. I have owned a lot of different pistols, and I've liked my Ruger P94s as much as anything I've ever shot. I know some don't like them, but they fit my hand well and they're really no heavier than a 1911 or any other metal-framed full-size pistol.
