New RUGERS on the Horizon??

czf · May 1, 2013, 04:33 PM

I don't know about you guys, but RUGER sent me a customer survey that I filled out online.

They asked what guns they should develop such as a Muzzle Loader (didn't they have one years ago?)

and also a medium framed LCR.

Even though I really want a 9mm LCR that would be lighter to carry than my past two
38+P versions or my current .357 KLCR.

I can also see myself buying a Speed Six or GP-100 sized LCR in .357 or even a .44 Special.

The .44 LCR would have the excellent LCR action and would probably not heat up and
give sticky extraction like the Charter .44 specials I've shot.

I'd probably use 5 or six Glasers, followed by these Double Tap 200 grain loads:

Cheaper Cowboy type loads for practice.

It took a few years for Ruger to offer the Single Actions in .44 Special, but it seems
that they really want to hear from their loyal customers.

On the other hand..

A six-shot medium framed LCR in .357 or .327 Magnum would actually be enjoyable to shoot with Magnum loads.

However, I'm still clinging to the hope that I will be able to buy a 9mm LCR next year.

Red Sox, Rugers and CZs!

Some DoubleTap Hotties huh?

Boston? fuggedaboutit!!

Are the Roid Sox juicing again this year?

BOBA FETT · May 1, 2013, 06:10 PM

a 9mm lcr or a 40 cal lcr would be cool... i dont think you would ever see a 44 special lcr....

dayman · May 1, 2013, 06:19 PM

I got the same survey. I'd like to see them make a commander size (and in a perfect world, bobtailed) 1911.
If they make it before I save enough for a V-Bob, I'd buy it in a heatbeat. So, at the rate I've been saving, they have about 5 years to come up with something.

Also, I'm fairly certain Red Sox players only start juicing after they're washed up and traded to the Yankees

Sgt Pepper · May 1, 2013, 06:49 PM

Ruger makes a commander sized 1911. It's already on the market. Prices seem to be $750-$850.

BigD_in_FL · May 1, 2013, 07:42 PM

Do they have their recall forms printed up yet????

EdInk · May 1, 2013, 07:46 PM

Babe Ruth begs to differ.

Mausermolt · May 1, 2013, 08:43 PM

ive been waiting on them to come out with other finishes for their SR1911. if they had made a blued SR1911 i would have bought one 2 years ago

EdInk · May 1, 2013, 08:52 PM

I want the Gunsite scout but in .30-06

Cheapshooter · May 1, 2013, 09:38 PM

So they do.... I wonder why it was on the checklist.

treg · May 2, 2013, 05:37 AM

I'm hoping for a 5" version of the SR9 / 40 / 45 pistols and would have one on order the day they announced it.

Pfletch83 · May 2, 2013, 06:07 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing a .45/.410 single action made by Ruger

craZivn · May 2, 2013, 07:18 AM

Lever guns! I want a 30-30 but am afraid of the new Marlins.

Waspinator · May 2, 2013, 07:22 AM

Alloy or steel framed pistols other then a 1911 platform in 9mm,.40 and .380. Maybe a couple of full-sized and a couple of compacts. I would like to see Rugers take on the "PPK" type .380 in a metal frame too.

I know that Poly is all the rage, but I like metal.. be it a lite alloy or full-on heavy steel... but metal all the way.

giaquir · May 2, 2013, 07:32 AM

I would like to see a 3" Sp101
in 44 special. (ADJ sights)

kraigwy · May 2, 2013, 08:01 AM

I want to see the #3 come back in 30-40 Krag.

sir_n0thing · May 2, 2013, 11:47 AM

I'd like to see Ruger answer the Springfield XDs 45. Not based on the LC9 though... But more along the lines of an SR*c scaled down and made single stack.

More finishes/variation on the SR1911.

I would also like to see a Ruger lever action rifle.

Yung.gunr · May 2, 2013, 01:16 PM

I agree with Cheapshooter, with one tweak.

LCP in .22mag. I'd buy two. One in pink for the Mrs and one all black for me. Oh.. With a better trigger though... Not a fan of the LCP trigger when compared to other pocket guns.

I would like this too! The newer model LCP's have an improved trigger (and sights) which is a nice improvement over the older trigger. I think with the new, current trigger an LCP in .22 mag would be perfect.

that's what I suggested on the survey also, I would take one in a heartbeat.

PatientWolf · May 2, 2013, 05:51 PM

Based on the short list of what they asked, I'd suspect everything listed is in some stage of development and the survey was a teaser to whet appetites and to help them decide what to launch first. There was no place to suggest other things.

What I'd like to see is:
Lightweight CCO based on the SR1911
Lever action .357/.38 and .44mag. Really would be interested to see Rugers version of the 1894CSS with a laminate stock (HINT HINT HINT Ruger)
.44 Mag or .357 carbine

Nickel Plated · May 2, 2013, 06:09 PM

Bring back the Red Label shotguns. And just generally start making shotguns. Pump and semi.

alex0535 · May 2, 2013, 06:11 PM

Blued SR1911

I would like to also see a Colt New Agent sized 1911. I know that the smaller this platform is made the harder it is to make it reliable, but I have not read the word "unreliable" in the same sentence about the SR1911 even once. I think they could do it.

Non polymer version of the LCR, maybe something in a lightweight alloy or titanium. The LCR has such a devoted following and the people that own one seem to love it and again I rarely hear anything but excellent things about it. But there will always be those who can not bring themselves to buy a polymer framed revolver and would be perfectly willing to deal with a little bit of extra weight to have one made out of metal. I guess they do make a hammerless SP101, but I haven't heard much about it.
