Ruger is announcing a new product tomorrow (most likely a handgun)

Ruger's Upcoming Announcement

As of now, Ruger's website [Ruger.com] is advertising that they're starting off the new year "with a bang", with more info tomorrow. My guess is, they're finally bringing out a 1911 and have timed it to coincide with the Government Model's 100th birthday...but that's just my guess, and I could be wrong.....anyone else care to speculate?

 

[guy sajer]

1911 is what I'm getting wind of . Could also be a PF-9 "copy" to compliment the very popular LCP .

 

[ohen cepel]

Please not another 1911. That market is crowded enough now.

Hope for something else neat.

Is there enough room on a 1911 pattern pistol to stamp all that safety crap?

I hate to say it, rattletrap1970, but there's more room on one side of a model 1911 slide than any five Ruger barrels. I predict that company's lawyers are going to have a field day.

I received an email early this morning (01/01/2011) from Ruger, which stated:

RUGER HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Manufacturer of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Handgun of the Year
is starting 2011 with a bang!

(More Information Tomorrow)

As of now (2:00 AM EST 01/02/2011), the same message is displayed if you go to the Ruger website.

The fact that they mention Ruger winning Handgun of the Year in 2008, 2009, and 2001 would lead me to believe that a new handgun is going to be announced.

My guess would be a Ruger 1911.

I would have to agree, if anyone forgot about it (which i'm sure most of you haven't) this year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1911.

I am excited to see the line up for 1911's this year.

Oh yeah i'm new to the forums, hi everyone!

That Is Awsome, They Make some great handguns. I hope It is a .45 acp Pistol or a Really Good Revoler. Like one With a whole brand new Design or muzzle Break. Some new patent to make it unique. Thank you for the information.

 

[egor20]

Not to hijack the thread, but I noticed they put a muzzle break on the 10/22.....ermmm WHY????

[2cooltoolz]

Well, I've personally never understood the concept of a "tactical" 22lr, but I bet that's a flash hider, not a muzzle brake.


Plus, I'd heard rumors of a new Ruger 1911. That's my bet, too.

Ahhhh, I looked with my glasses on this time (pain getting old), and I believe you are correct sir, still don't see the reason. Thx 2cooltoolz

Now back to the OP, I think it will probably be a 1911 also.

BTW, welcome IrishXD

 

[riggins_83]

This will be a great anniversary gun! http://www.coltsmfg.com/Portals/0/panels/Colt-100.pdf

I hope the Ruger is a 1911...

 

[Wildalaska]

I think it will probably be a 1911 also.

Why did Mossberg put a Barrett-style muzzle brake on a .22LR? Probably because they could.

 

[B.N.Real]

Because it looks cool and cool sells rifles.

Plus,who can afford to feed a Barrett?

 

[shafter]

I hope its not a big let down like last time. I'd love to see a no-frills 1911 thats as solid and dependable as their revolvers.

 

[Kreyzhorse]

Hummmmmmmm, I'm going with a 1911 design although I'm guessing it won't be an exact copy. Can't wait to see it.

 

[Amin Parker]

If its a 1911 and the price is right, ill probably put my cash down for 3. A 45, 9mm and 40. I trust the Ruger brand enough to know that they wont make junk.

It has to be a true 1911 though.

 

[SPUSCG]

ruger, jsut like a colt without paying for the pony

Sorry, just when I see a 1000 dolalr colt with no frotnstrap checkering or night sights I think, Why?

I say a cast frame competitively priced 1911.
I can also say gunblast will have a review launched at the same time and say how SUPER DUPER MEGA AWESOME it is and then Ill have to wait for reviews from a credible source.

 

[Aguila Blanca]

I suppose if Browning can bring out an "Anniversary Edition" of a scaled-down, .22LR caliber replica of a 1911 and emblazon it with all the anniversary crapola as if there had ever been an original scaled-down, .22LR caliber 1911 ... we shouldn't begrudge Ruger the opportunity to see how badly they can mess up a proven platform.
