Ruger is doing it yet again

A polymer 1911 or a .22 AR

Already have the .22 AR out... Good guess though, just a little late.

I don't think they have a .22 AR yet. They do have the SR-22, but that is not an AR - it is 10/22 in an AR like frame. But that is probably close enough to an AR as to negate the need for a real .22 AR.

My polymer 1911 prediction still stands.

My guess is it will be a LCP in 327. They are really pushing that round. Ruger has stated it is not a 1911 45. I will make them my first stop on Teusday morning at SHOT.

thats what i said, but no one listens to me!

compact 50 cal?

I still want the six shot, four inch adjustable sighted SP101 in .327. Or even better, a four inch six shot adjustable sighted slightly grown up SP101 in .38 Special/.357. A modern modern slightly smaller version of the Security Six, which ranks with the SP101 as the best revolver they've ever made.

I personaly hope it isn't a 1911... Boring if you'd ask me. So many others to chose from.

I'm thinkin maybe some sort of rifle in the .327 Fed. Maybe on the 77/44 or 77/22 platform. Something that'll use the famed rotary mag.

A single six in the .327 would be neat too, but I wonder if that could stand up to that sort of pressure. Probably, beefy little buggers.

Still thinkin of other possibilities...

regenerating bacon????? With a ranch fountain.

Well as some others have said it "might" be something in .327
I think they only have "1" gun in .327 and it would be in their best interest to push that round to increase sales with another platform.

huuummmmm.

[strike]Two, now. The 3" 6 shot SP101 and the 7 shot Blackhawk.[/strike]

Edit: I must correct myself. They have three .327s. The 3" 6 shot SP101, the 4" 7 shot GP100 (too much gun for the caliber, IMHO) and the 8 shot 5.5" Blackhawk.

I ever get rich and famous, I'm going to buy one of each. Still hoping for that 4" SP101 .327 though. Maybe they'll announce a bolt or lever gun chambered for the .327? That's be a sweet combo with any of the above guns.

It's Ruger's copy of the Glock..

Thanks for the update Joe, that's what I get for not keep up on stuff.
I could see them doing the LCR in a 6 shot .327, but why the suspense?

Looks like its a 357 LCR. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2010/01/18/ruger-lcr-coming-in-357-mag/

I guess we shall see.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

FordMan08, that's pretty good!
Printcraft, Man,,, that avatar is DISTURBING.
I'm hopin' for the 4" SP101....

Jeez, I hope this isn't all they got:

Ruger News

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Ruger® 22/45RP Mark III™ pistol, an even more realistic understudy for the venerable 1911 pistol. Now, the classic 1911 grip angle and feel of the Ruger 22/45 pistol is enhanced by replaceable 1911-style grip panels.

The checkered, cocobolo, 1911-style grips are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and allow shooters to swap to other grip panels to suit their shooting taste, style or need.

Like all pistols in the 22/45 lineup, the new Ruger 22/45RP pistol offers virtually identical magazine button, manual safety, and bolt stop locations as the classic 1911 pistol. The slim polymer grip frame features a serrated front strap and a checkered back strap.

The 33 ounce Ruger 22/45RP, chambered in .22 LR, features a blued alloy steel 5.5-inch bull barrel with a fixed front sight and micro-adjustable rear sight. Mounting optics on the new pistol is easy as all adjustable sight Ruger Mark III pistols are drilled and tapped for a Weaver-style scope adapter, included at no extra charge.

Although it's sure lookin like they have 1911 on thier minds... Already got the grips with a logo... I think it is a hint.

 

[andyrping]

Now I'm really thinking it is gonna be a 1911 style pistol... Except with a "Ruger Twist." Maybe with the Camblock replacing the link or some sort of other design twist like that...

A 22/45 with replaceable grip panels.......
A 22/45 with replaceable grip panels?!?

Well, color me surprised. wow.

Note: looks like you can use any aftermarket 1911 grip panel
BUT
You will need to modify them (read cut down) on the back edge.



Hey, I did say something 1911 styled

Do I get 1/2 a rep for that or
