I check the "gungenie" at least once a week to see if Ruger has delivered any new, non catalogued guns. Lately there has been quite a few. Now, they got one I have been looking for and it's "on sale" too. Doesn't seem to be much of a discount thru any of their Denver dealers, but I gotta have one. If I recall correctly, the 38 3" use to be a line item that was dropped in favor of just offering the magnum version.
