I did reach out to Talo asking for any additional info while waiting on the LOA. They did confirm through records it was a distributor item and have added the stainless and Blued versions to their webpage.

It shows models and production counts.
Way to reach out, straight to the distributor, for the straight story!
I think it's awesome that TALO would confirm the info for you, and post it!

NOW- someone with better computer equipment than I, please save this info for (ready) future reference for the RugerForum.com community!
