Hey guys,
Have been out at the Shootists Holiday and trying to get caught up. The delays have been due to the wood situation. Trust me, Ruger is working hard to make this happen sooner than later.
Cholo,
This is a special run for Cabelas. Baron Technology did the finish work. They do a lot of finish work for special projects for Ruger and just about everyone else. They are factory authorized and you can tell because they have their own factory part number. SR1911CMDHP. HP is for High...
I think the 480 suffered from the same problem as the 327 Federal. Great cartridge that does fit a role but was never put in the right gun. 327 didn't really shine or sell for that matter until it was put in the Single Six size platform. The 480 is a cartridge that has a lot of appeal and...
My first big bore handgun was a 41 Magnum Blackhawk. I have always been a fan of the round. It has been discussed, but a few other projects are taking precedent right now over working on the feasibility of a mid size Flattop 41 Magnum. I feel confident it will work fine, but would most likely...

We will be announcing 4 new Flattop models tomorrow. 357 Magnum / 9mm mid-frame size convertibles in both blue and stainless. Your choice of 4-5/8" or 5-1/2" barrels. All four models will have slim rosewood grips. Other than the small run of Acusport large frame Bisleys, these are the only...
