Awful Close Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 With so many makers producing "economy" priced cast framed 1911's, It would make sense that Ruger would enter that market and if priced right, dominate that market.
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 FAST FORWARD: 1400- 1/3/2011 RUGER NEWS RELEASE: Ruger is proud to announce the release of its newest offering for the cowboy shooter, a hybrid version of the 1858 Remington Army revolver. Built on the frame of Rugers very popular New Model Vaquero, it will carry on the tradition of Rugers previous Old Model Army revolver while adding a bit of redesign to more closely resemble the physical appearance of the traditional 1858 Remington revolver. We are sure this will offer our customers the ultimate in cap and ball reliability combined with the historical appearance desired by many. The first models will be available in either stainless or blue finish with your choice of 5 1/2" or 7 1/2" barrel lengths with non adjustable sights.

Red Feather Roy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 1911 makes no sense to me. Colt gives you the horse, Para gives you the double-stack & LDA, Para and Springfield and RIA and Remington give you no-frills and Wild Bunch-compatible, Kimber and a hundred others give you hop-ups. Can't see the niche Ruger could fill. I'm guessing a 7.62x51 semi. The SR-556 made no sense with an overloaded AR market but Ruger built one. A Ruger 1911 would be nice but I doubt it would be affordable based on the price point for their AR. A semi 7.62 X 51 would be nice on the mini platform as long as price is in line.
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I just wish they'd blue the bead blasted hawkeye 77 and offer decent open sights on it and the 77-22. Little better attention to wood and metal fit wouldn't hurt either.
Smithy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Just a look at GunBroker would tell you that Rugers return to the same (or modified) Old Army would be a good bet and a sure money maker. All the fixed sighted models are basically gone especially the short barreled variants and stainless is getting harder and harder to come by. Smithy.
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 my guess is a 5 shot top break hammerless revolver in .327 Federal to break into the huge retro carry market/movement that is going on.
Fargo Bill, SASS #4942 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 January 3rd is my birthday (63 if you gotta know). Maybe they are going to announce my birthday present. A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I hope you have a wonderful day, but with the midwest weather you may have to stay inside and eat cake and enjoy thinking about nice 75 degree weather and being first to shoot in your posse. Now will you still be able to get back up that hill?
Hashknife Cowboy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'm hopin for a double rifle in a African caliber......
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Maybe this is it ... http://www.realguns.com/archives/192.htm
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Nope, ya'll got it all wrong. I heard they are coming out with the Ruchester model 1873. It'll come pre-slicked up, short stroked and have good screws in it that are not over tightened. Retail price $599.00. Factory engraving available upon request.
Buck Rio, SASS #60154 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Whatever it is, my bet is that it is matt black and half plastic. That is where the profit is these days.
Ranger Sgt. Jake McCandless #3368 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Maybe this is it ... http://www.realguns.com/archives/192.htm Capt. If that is Rugers big news,That's one Ruger I don't want or will have to have. If one thought the 25 acp is worthless the 180 acp will be able to join it. Adios Sgt. Jake
Pancho Peacemaker Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Ruger catalog number: SR-P40W Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt range.
Red Feather Roy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Nope, ya'll got it all wrong. I heard they are coming out with the Ruchester model 1873.

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 . "RUGER HAS UNDOUBTEDLY CREATED THE NEXT FIREARM THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE!" Sounds like the Marketeer 22 Short. I'm still betting on the SR1911. And I'll grieve, because it'll never be allowed in the Grate State of Kalifornium, past the border with Reality. Created? Hmmmm. Even a marketeer oouldn't claim that Ruger has created a 1911. Maybe it is the 40W Plasma Rifle!

Grizzly Dave Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Even if it is "all that and a bag of chips" it will only add yet another gun to my wish list of guns I can't afford. Hey Ruger! How 'bout you give me one and I'll test it out and write up reviews for ya?
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 . From the Ruger website: "Introducing the LC9." Light Compact 9. Yawn.
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 .From the Ruger website: "Introducing the LC9." Light Compact 9. Yawn. Well if this is their announcement...it's pretty cool. Nice little carry gun in 9mm. What's so "Yawn" about that?
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 2pm is almost hear for the big announcement.... GG ~
Buckshot Frank Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 .From the Ruger website: "Introducing the LC9." Light Compact 9. Yawn. Wow! That's it? I bought one of these years ago when it was called a Kel-tec...
Black Tooth Zach Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsiteScoutRifle/models.html GG ~ Looks like a handy rifle, but a 'scout' rifle with no bipod? If I remember right, an integral bipod was one of the requirements for a scout rifle.
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 It's just this - yeah, cool - but was hopin' for somethin' bigger, badder, more cowboy??? http://www.ruger.com/products/lc9/models.html GG ~

Mustang Gregg Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 #1 Bring back the Old Vaqueros and Blackhawks! #2 And also that the RGR stock has hit $100/share! MG
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Well if this is their announcement...it's pretty cool. Nice little carry gun in 9mm. What's so "Yawn" about that? You're right Phantom, that was a very self-absorbed Californian yawn. The pistol won't be sold in Kali in the near term, if ever. And I'm neither connected, wealthy, powerful, Hollywood, nor criminal enough to carry concealed. 'Course, you know that. How's Tejas treatin' you? Hippy New Year from Kalifornia!
Colorado Blackjack, SASS #58441 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 i hope i win one of these for guessing right.
Diamond Dave Anthony Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The SR-556 made no sense with an overloaded AR market but Ruger built one. The SR-556 is gas piston, right? That's the hot new thing. It's the plain ol' direct impingement AR market that's overloaded.

Oh...yeah...guess it would be "Yawn" for ya then...sorry.
Buck Rio, SASS #60154 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Whatever it is, my bet is that it is matt black and half plastic. That is where the profit is these days. I must be a prophet
Red Feather Roy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The SR-556 is gas piston, right? That's the hot new thing. It's the plain ol' direct impingement AR market that's overloaded. Yah gas piston is the new “everyone’s got to get one”. Yes gas piston is better than direct impingement but does the average guy that shoots his AR once a year going to know the difference? The SR-556 is a niche gun for people with deep pockets. I’m not knocking the gas piston system I think it’s great but in the AR platform it’s too dang expensive. If you have one I hope you like it. I cannot afford an SR-556 and if I was to ever get another AR I would build one.
