If Ruger employees read this forum, I'm going to guess your tone would keep them from answering any of your questions, and the insults you're posting about the LCR really are not going to help your case much.
I KNOW Ruger employees keep an eye on this forum, they threw a fit IMMEDIATELY after the LCR pictures got leaked early. I'm not trying to be nice to them or get a specific question answered, I'm rolling my eyes in their general direction. They just need to read this thread and see how many people like the idea. It's obviously something missing from their lineup. You might like your LCR but a LOT of people think that was a move in the wrong direction, however it does prove that they are open to investing in new revolvers.

Most distributors have to order 250 - 500 of a special run. The big problem is that they have to pay 50% up front. A distributor will gamble on a single action or standard revolver but a 22 is risky.
Well, I've been thinking about getting an FFL and starting a small gun shop. My aim would be internet business but I know the ATF requires "brick and mortar" sales too. Putting up 50 thou for a 10 shot GP-22 wouldn't be impossible for me. Seems like a real seller to me, at least as much as the .44 Special Blackhawks...
I agree, part of the problem with the SP101 22 was the 6 shot capacity, but I'd still think they could sell enough to make a profit. I mean, they already make the gun...all they have to do is drill different holes in it. How many years did they sell offer it?
Hell, I wonder if they'd bring the Security Six back if somebody ordered enough of them?
