really, what innovations are left for companies like Ruger?

The 1911 market has everything from $400 serviceable guns to $5000 gunsmith specials.

The AR market has just about anything you might want starting at $700.

No real room there to maneuver.

They have come out with a new caliber (.327 federal). Not something real useful in my mind, but moderately innovative. Not much you can really do with DA revolvers that could be called innovative.

What would they do in the SA revolver market? Bring back the Bearcat?

They are dealing with the CC market pretty effectively.

Their rifles have always been a bit stodgy, if pretty good.

And you really can't do much to their shotgun. its pretty solid. Unless they wanted to get into defensive shotguns, but a lot of people are already there.

They could do things with the 10/22 and Minis, but whats the point.

I thought their 44spl carbine was kind of neat, but the marketplace did not appreciate it all that much.

Whats left?
