that's where I just saw this today. I was surprised.I received an email this morning from Tyler Gun Works saying they have some...........
Lipseys just released 20 of them today.Good luck!! This model has been on Lipsey's website for at least 3 years, maybe 4. At this time there are only 12 that are known to have made it out of the factory, and one of those was customized.

Thank you. That was the prototype pitched to Lipsey's and they decided to go with the standard front blade for simplicity.Lipsey's goes to all the Promotion and only make 32 of them??? Doesn't make sense,,,
or maybe it does make CENT'S.
48flyer, that top gun with the drift front sight and the Stags is sure a looker.
It isn't Lipsey's, it is Ruger. The 5168 has buyers, but Ruger won't make them. Ruger is too interested in churning out Glock clones, wranglers and cheap centerfire rifles which makes Ruger's shareholders cringe at Ruger's much lower GP in the last few years.Lipsey's goes to all the Promotion and only make 32 of them??? Doesn't make sense,,,

That was BS when somebody at Ruger talked about startup costs for different cataloged models. Ruger has production "cells", which means maybe one employee sits at his workstation and has everything he needs to put together 500 Single-Sixes. The production line is syncronized in such a way as to have 500 sets of parts ready at that workstation to be assembled. Change it to Blackhawks, you change the parts flow.They're only making 32?? I've been on the lookout for the blued Bisley model, or the "Shopkeeper" model for quite a while now ... and then they offer the best of both worlds and they're only making 32 of them?? Is it even worth the startup costs? That's disappointing.
I agree. That hit me in 2011. When Ruger announced the SR1911 was in the works I was very interested. I'd never owned a 1911.….. if they keep teasing really desirable guns, that turn out to be unobtainium, it will eventually turn me off to either the distributor, or the brand.![]()
How about your exclusive model # 8160 327 , it has been on Rugers site for a long time . That's the one I and my SIL are waiting on . Anytime soon ? .......Thanks.Hey guys a lot of bad information in this thread. First this is not limited to 30 something units. Ruger nor us would waste our time with that qty. We have several hundred on order.
