I've been around to a few gun shops in the area looking for a deal on a new Ruger 22/45. Nobody has ANY new. At every single place I have been, when I ask the guy behind the counter about ordering one, he laughs at me and says, "yea good luck finding a new one, I cant even put one on backorder right now." Why is this? They aren't in danger of being on any ban list. I've wanted one for a long time just to have an accurate target pistol that's cheap to shoot, but have had other handguns/rifles higher on my list. Now that I'm ready to buy one, so is everyone else.

Does anybody know whats going on with the unavailability of these things?

And how long it will last?
