What Were You Hoping For?

[BigBlue]

Okay the mysterious, long awaited (two days), have to own LC 9 is out, but what were you really hoping Ruger was going to introduce?

A Ruger Sub2000 (SR2000?) that would be designed to take the P-Series 9mm mags or the SR9 mags..of course they would have to put out a .40 cal too.

I was looking for the eventual P90 replacement. Not necessarily a 1911, but something along those lines. Perhaps the P90 Mk II? All this hype over a LCP on steroids? No, this is not a gun I "must own". Sorry Ruger, Effective Range: Zero Meters. On the up side, I might have to pick up one of their new Scout rifles. Time will tell.

Perhaps something original ~ not already on the market.

Granted, the LCR was innovative because of material used but; I didn't get one to replace my J Frame S&W.

A 10/22 pimped out to look, handle, and feel exactly like a WWII M1 carbine.

 

[RUGERFAN357]

I was wishing for a 22LR double action revolver. I doubt they have even thought of doing one of them though. Oh well. Maybe another year.

I was reallying hoping for a 1911.... I'm a little disappointed in the LC9, its bigger and heavier than my kel-tec PF9, so i have no reason to get one... Oh well, at least its not striker fired!! If they release a version with night sights i might consider it, at least if they do it before sig releases its p290 with second strike capability and night sights... its a race then!!!

Oh well, I am happy in one way, I honestly thought it was going to be the SR40c... lol....

You can already get pretty darn close... as close as its possible really without redesigning the 10/22... http://www.eabco.com/m1_carbine_ruger_1022_tribute.htm

I'm not upset with what they did release. As a backup gun, I carry my LCP in my shirtpocket, all the time. For what it is, it's a neat little gun. And, as popular as they are, looks like I'm not alone.

So, if they can make the LCP in a 9mm, I think it'll be a great seller.

As far as the advertising? They won there, too, as it's had me on the edge of my seat, since Saturday. I even like their daily-specials.

Someday, maybe I'll see a Ruger 1911 or medium-frame DA rimfire. I wont be upset with those choices, either. 8)

WAYNO.

Seen that. It's kinda sorta close, but not close enough to suit me, especially with those ass-ugly Tech Sights. I'm doing my own homebrew conversion, which will look better for about 1/4 the price or less. :wink:

I was hoping for a pocket size cloaking device. That way anytime I spot an idiot / BG I could pull the trigger and make myself and anyone I wanted invisable to them. Don't worry though, they're on their way.

If I could think what I was hoping for, then I probably didn't want it. Or I should be on their R and D team. I love Ruger... which is why I am hoping they come out with the next big design. People can say what they will about Glocks, but their striker assembly and trigger safety changed handguns a bit.

 

[doublebarrel_2]

I was hoping for a Ruger version of Kahr PM9, comparable dimensions and weight (shave the extra 4 oz. off the SIG P290), and NOT adding any of unsafe lawyer "safety features". Guess Ruger thought differently...

 

[Strange]

If they had come out with it 6 months ago when I couldn't decide between a larger uncomfortable 9mm or and easily concealable .380 I would have gone with the LC9 with out a second thought, but now that a LCP is my daily carry the LC9 will have to wait till I decide to change my everyday carry weapon.

 

[P90]

The only new gun that Ruger has come out with in the last few years that interest me is the Scout Rifle. If they make it in Stainless later, I will probably buy one.

 

[leejack]

I was hoping for a GI style 1911.

Not that the world needs another 1911 manufacturer, but it would be nice to own a Ruger.

Too many 1911's made today are so tricked out with bells and tacticool whistles. I just want a reliable GI style, more in line with the original design. Imagine an American made 1911 with straight up serrations and no place to hang a flashlight. :shock: It would be so out of vogue, I'd love it! Take a look at the REV's 1911 and you'll see what a 1911 can be!

Instead, they come out with a plastic pocket 9. That's only a half of a notch more exciting than a plastic pocket .380. What a let down.

I was hoping for some standardization.........
The GP series handles and feels the same no matter the caliber even passed down to the SP.

A Glock is a Glock no matter the caliber just as a XD is a XD.....

I was hoping Ruger would run with the SR platform either going larger to a 45, a 40 compact, or a SR subcompact the size of the LC9.

At lease when a person gets familiar with a certain pistol, then the same familiarity could be carried over to other sizes and calibers.

Ultra small pistols such as the LC9 are mainly used in pressure situations when time to think is limited.
Practice time or recreation time spent with a SR would carry over to a pistol the size of the LC9 if the subcompact was identical (except in size) to its larger brother.

 

[Sal1950]

Still 2 weeks to go before the Shot Show. I've read more than a few times now that Ruger will be rolling out 3-4 new weapons for 2011 so I think there is still at least 1 more surprise coming.
I was hoping for a Ultra Super Redhawk in 50 BMG. :shock:

I liked the M77 Frontier II scout rifle they came out with a few years ago better than the new Gunsite one. The Frontier II came in stainless and you can actually fit a fixed m1a/m14 magazine with no modification to the gun. They are discontinued now but you can still find them.

 

[ACM73]

I would have loved to see the LC9, but the same size as the lcp. I'm going to the gun store today to order an lcp now that I know that isn't happening.
