Ruger introducing 2 new items

[smittyb]

Ruger is bringing 2 new DA revolver variants to market this year.
The first is an addition of the 327 chambering to the 3” LCRX.
I have been personally asking for this one fir 5+ years, so I’d like to think I made it happen.

The next is a Blued, 3” half underlug version of the SP101 with adjustable rear sight chambered in both 327 and 357.
No one saw this one coming.

P.S. I’m going to be very broke!

I‘d be for the sp101, but not for $900 large! That’s 586 territory

$900 MSRP will be around $700 street price.

Nice....but I'm still waiting for a 8-round LCRx in .22Mag. If Taurus can do it.....

It would be sweet, but…
LCR(rimfire) is aluminum frame and Taurus is steel.

Lipsey's often gets exclusive variants that can be found nowhere else unless second hand.

Lipseys is a distributor. Any retailer that purchases from lipseys can buy their exclusive products and sell them in their store/on their website.

Right.
Lipsey’s is a wholesaler that gets a TON of dealer exclusive models from Ruger that can only be purchased by retailers from them.
That’s why when I was asking for a 3” 327 LCRX to be produced, I asked the folks at Lipsey’s. They have Ruger’s ear. Not us.
And yes, I own a couple of their exclusives.

How about a Ruger/Marlin 1894 in .327?

 

[jimbo]

I will be interested.

How about an autoloading rifle in 30 Carbine?

pretty sure that's been done.

LCR(rimfire) is aluminum frame and Taurus is steel.

Ruger LCR fire control lockwork is in the polymer grip section, not the frame. If the steel frame (.357/9mm) is needed, the lockwork can be added. Also, Taurus makes a 942UL in aluminum for .22Mag. The 2" version is a Holy Grail which I seek....

Yes, good clarification.
At the time I wrote that, in my mind I was thinking:
Lipsey’s = wholesaler (first hand)
Anyone else = retailer (second hand).
But second hand infers used, which I did not intend.

It’s not a lockwork issue, although it would require a different pawl. If they pushed the cylinder holes out far enough to get 8 in, the aluminum frame would get flame cut.
The Taurus UL is not an aluminum frame.
It’s a steel frame, which begs the question, how in the heck is it only 18 OZ?
That’s the same weight as an aluminum frame LCR.

YES! Please make it happen!

Ruger needs to introduce some 20 round magazines for the 6.8 Ranch rifle they produced but only sold with 5 round magazines.

It's a nice gun, but I'd rather have 8 rounds and an exposed hammer.
