Nope, they went for a small 9 mm. Here's their announcement.

A new ultra compact 9mm. Ho hum.

 

I DO like the new Ruger "Gunsite" .308 bolt action rifle though--reminds me of the old French Foreign Legion MAS, but much better looking.

Would be even better if it was a semi-auto. Why a bolt gun that holds 10 rounds?

Well no doubt it will be a surprise to all.

Don't matter to us Mass. residents. It won't be Mass. Compliant for a year anyway.

If it is a limited one we will never see it. But that is not what we are posting on..just had to throw that in..

 

MY bet would be on a 1911 for 2 reasons.

1-1911-2011 anniversary

 

2-and the fact that the Wild Bunch exists!!!

 

Unless they ain't paying attention!!!

KK

 

Well I was 1/2 right another semi-auto. Just what the world needed, another plastic 9mm Semi-auto ???

 

I would have settled for a 9mm 1911 GI lookin gun .

Where is their heads? I bet it sells though!!!

They should go ahead and recall it now before they release it.

 

It will save them lots of shipping charges later on.

 

 

. . . and that Scout Rifle . . . at that price, why not just spend a couple hundred more and get the Springfield M1A Scout rifle. That big ol' magazine needs a semi-auto action attached to it.

Hmmmm Phantom, I might have been too hasty:

 

Michael Bane's Blob states that the LC9 has a mag disconnect and I think I see a witness hole. Those, plus sufficient danegeld, and a year or so of coffee drinking testing, should be enough to allow the pistol to be imported into Kalifornium. My self-absorbed interest has been kicked up slightly.

 

Bane is now in the hospital for eye surgery. Go and wish him well.

The Scout Rifle concept was the brain child of Jeff Cooper, so consulting some of his works might yield an answer. My guess would be that as a "general purpose" gun designed to be fit for most situations, he decided to opt for the reliability of a bolt action. It would be nice if Ruger would've made it so it would use an M-14 mag, instead of a proprietary design ($$).
