Bets on Ruger's new 2011 handgun
 

site says tomorrow more info will be released in their new handgun. im guessing it will be a cast frame 1911 (cashing in on the centennial buying craze) at competitive price.

I think they will be more focused on their SR line like the SR40 matbe even a C model. Probably new upgrades to their polymore 45's. More tactical Chargers with big mags

They already have the sr40, a sr-45 seems like it would warrant an announcement, but there was no big deal when the sr 40 or sr9c were released. So im thinking it will be a new gun for them. A 1911 seems solid seeing every company in the world will release one this year.

The SR-40 hasnt even hit the self yet, and the compact 9mm did awsome in sales. It seems they kind of like the whole tactical thing and ruger is also getting into the concealment thing pretty deep. The 6.8 SR-556 will probably be pushed a little stronger and newer scout rifles...something Jeff cooper could get behind. ohhh and lasers on everything...even bearcats.;)

Whatever it is, Ruger is going to have a recall for it sometime during the new year.

The recall joke has gotten old. The sr 40 actually has hit shelves just slowly, seen one on display already, and the sr9c did do well in sales, not a big hype beffore release though. They kind of expected it to do good.

lol, thats funny and true....but so sad

They recalled lcps which seems a legitiamte complaint but the sr9 recall was to put in safety triggers like a glock because idiots were shooting them by "mistake."

No rifle recalls, no lcr recall, id say there doing good.

very good .

Well their CC offerings are some of the national bestsellers, they have 3 handgun of the year awards in a row, and all kinds of new rifle configurations with bigger magazines. Its Sad though, it took the company founder dying before the company became great, but sellout bill's shadow has moved on and the company is a completely new one now.

They said check tomorrow, then today it says check tomorrow at 2...this is stupid.

The buying shows start today so they probably want to do something special for the stores that are at the gatherings.

that was a let down...basically a bigger kel-tec PF-9. Is ruger going to be like taurus and just ripoff other companies designs...this is the second kel-tec ripoff.

On every gun forum people were begging for an LCP in 9mm. This shows Ruger actually listens to what people want. And ruger beats kel tec, seen too much kel tec junk fail.

I'll tell you one thing. I plan on getting one. I thought about an LCP but a .380? The chances of actually having to use it is slim, I trust a 9mm much more. I didn't really look at all the specs. Is it much bigger than the LCP?

Shows outline of lcp for comparison on the feature sheet.

Hey look, REAL sights, I like, and MSRP is nice.

..because rugers junk never fail? thats a joke. Kel-tec is smaller and has a light/laser rail, and has been around long enough were you dont have to worry about recalls...unlike someone else we know. Once again ruger pretties up someone else innovative design. At least there gunsite scout looks cool as hell.

Scout rifles were one of coopers sillier ideas....

And I put ruger workmanship above kel tec, and their customer service is top notch, they will replace a gun and pay the shipping if it fails. The kel tec doesnt impress me, and besides, the ruger has REAL sights.

Sillier?! BLASPHEMY! lol. I guess you dont hunt moving targets in thick brush. The scout scope and rifle is one of the fastest tactical design in a bolt action. And remember this was before the semi-auto rifles was accurate or reliable. In todays world there are alway better choices depending on what you are doing...but like i said thick brush and a fast target...and you'd be happy with a scout.

The scout rifle tries to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. Sure, iron sights for close up, like it. Ability to use a scope for range? Sounds good. Then you see its a side mount that needs to be adjusted in two directions, elevation and horizontal. Slower, requires more measurements, and not very handy unless you are shooting a course with set ranges and have it pre measured. Ill take a Lever action for brush hunting, and if you want a scope? Get a variable power and turn it down.....

Side Mount?...Scout rifles arent side mounted...you use your scope and if it breaks you take it off...and then use the open sights...no side mounts. The scope is like using a trijicon acog. You have a big field of view and still able to shoot with both eyes open. Its a quicke action close range rifle. nothing pre measured about it at the range.

Most Ive seen have it mounted to the side so you can use irons or a scope, Ive seen more leverguns in this configuration though.
