A New Chambering For The Single Action?

Help Support Ruger Forum:

No,, I haven't heard anything like that. But when I go to SHOT in a few weeks,,, I'll make it known what I think. I don't think it'll be a good way to go. The .21 Sharp will most likely be a marketing failure.
 
Well, you can get 21 Sharp at MIdway for $19 per 100 rounds, or Winchester 22LR for $9 per 100 rds. Granted this is "plinking", target and small game ammo, but still one third the cost. On paper, the 21 Sharp may look better, but in the real world, I don't personally see it making much of a difference. For some reason my thoughts keep going back to some of the 17 rimfire cartridges and especially the 5mm Remington. I have to also think back to other new cartridges such as the 338 Federal, all the WSM line, 9mm Federal, 307 and 356 Winchester, and many others that were touted as a "wonder" caliber, but soon faded into oblivion. Ruger might chamber the SS in it, but I would bet it will be a small flash in the pan offereing.
 
I can't help but think it takes away capacity to build more popular lines.

I'm one of the contrarians who absolutely love my Single Seven and can't understand why there are not more available in every flavor. If I followed my own example I'd have never seen a Single Seven.
 
I have 2 Single Six Convertibles. I used the mag cylinders once for each gun, and that was all. The box of 100 22 mags is probably 30 years old, and still half full.

The calibers we have available include a 38/357, two 45's, a 9, a .223 and a 30-06. Throw in a 41 and a 44 for good measure. What more do we need? Every year there seems to be a plethora of new versions to satisfy a new "need". Or, is it just to sell more guns?

We don't need a 21.
 
I sure get tired of the manufacturers trying to make up junk for the masses to waste their money on... We should be focussing on the more important things in life.... like maybe PIZZA or CARVEL (?). Or maybe something like a .22 Magnum :) AGAIN.... :)
IMHO of course,
