Gallery of Guns is saying they are on allocation and they won't accept or quote on-line orders. No time frame for availability is given.

Ruger is quite famous for introducing guns before they are available! (I am still waiting for the XGI that was in the catalog for 3 years, but never released!)

They've put them into the hands of internet gun experts across the country. And they were not reported by any of them to be "beta" or "test" weapons. So, they're probably in warehouses waiting for SHOT Show. Good luck. I'll wait to hear what actual seasoned users have to say before running down to my LGS.

Yeas ago that was the case but not recently. Their current announced guns are available almost immediately.gunman42782 said:

They usually try and get new models into the pipeline before announcing their release.
I think however, the PC Carbine was leaked by Recoil magazine online before Ruger was intending to release it. The cat was out of the bag so they put it up on their website.

They got em, as I just picked one up! Thanks for the tip! And it's a 3 digit serial number to boot!gc70 said:
I have mine on order. So its just a matter of time. As much as possible I prefer to patronize a local gunshop, and I'm never in a hurry. But it will be nice to get the thing and start shooting it. I like the fact that it has quite functional iron sights.
Dern right! Don't need no namby pambie whimpie optics on a rifle....
Especially one that is meant to shot targets within 100 yards....

Local shop has them on order, they expect around the end of the month. FWIW, they had the Security 9 in stock within 72 hours of it being announced.

I stopped at my local FFL, who is a big Ruger guy, and he had several in stock. Said they were selling like crazy. It is not a gun I was expecting to purchase, but after playing with it a while in the shop, I ended up leaving with it. They were $499.

I may be lucky as I have one on the way from Brownells. I had a pre-order in elsewhere and was on a watch list at LGS that sells online as well, but a sleepless night had me up at 4am a few days ago and Brownells showed as in stock rather than preorder. I could not add to cart fast enough. I checked a few hours later and were still marked as in stock, but marked as backorder by noon. I feel very fortunate to find one so soon at fair price. I was expecting two to three months. Also LGS never contacted me of any in stock but their website showed one available one day and three available on another (I am sure they sold within the hour). That tells me that the watch list does not do anything but allow them to try to make another sale if demand not high where would sell anyway. That is fine as their price went up $90 anyway. I did not take myself off watch list out of curiosity if they ever let me know before demand fades. While I wanted one badly and I'd likely shoot the price difference in ammo in one outing, I figured I'd just shoot my camp 9 until I scored a Ruger. I'm sure both are equally fun to shoot. To be honest, this first I got for my wife to shoot, although I will likely shoot it more than her. I am guessing as money comes available there may be a twin in the house or maybe a 45 ACP 1911 mag version that I predict will be released. I can make room for several if need be. If only I had more money.
My guess is that most gun stores have batches on order and one needs to get lucky enough to catch right when they go up for sale. I agree with nearly everyone else predicting this gun to be a GREAT seller. Even those that always say that if they are going to carry a rifle it may as well shoot a rifle cartridge must admit that this is the ultimate plinker/home defense/fun gun that can be economically shot. I bet some of these guys are as anxious as the rest of us to get one. I predict demand to be high throughout the year. The supply side is the variable.
Gallery of Guns has them listed as "On Sale" through the end of February but also as Allocated (therefore no pricing). This tells me that dealers should be getting them at a fair price. I keep in mind how greedy they are when make future purchases.
I wish you the best finding one soon and at a fair price. FWIW, I got mine for $515.

I bought one from KY Gun Co about two weeks ago, and the lady told me that they had 50 of them in stock. I just checked their website, and they are showing it as out of stock! Of course, they do on-line sales too, but that's a lot of rifles sold in two weeks. Show's there is definitely a market for it. Guess it depends on how well it sells after the new wears off.
