Not only would it sell well (if priced right), but I think it would lead to more sales of their SR pistols if that was the mag they went with. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

PC9 please I'll take one too. Seconded Thirded. Not only would it sell well (if priced right), but I think it would lead to more sales of their SR pistols if that was the mag they went with. I think they could make a few bucks even selling them as a combo package. Maybe I am wrong, but I think there is more of a place in today's market for a pistol and carbine that use the same mags and ammo, especially to people who might be more inclined to be as cost conscious and practical as possible about what they buy. |

Vaquero in 45-70 Magnum Research already did that. Not exactly a vaquero frame but close enough.I want one. ETA-another I'd like. Updated, slimmed and lightened P series in 10MM. Updated Ruger PC carbine in 10mm. Better idea. Both, with common mags. |

It doesn't look like anything I'm used to seeing, and I'm frequently in and around a DoD manufacturing facility. Maybe steel blanks with a coating of machine oil? |

Looks like extruded aluminum bar stock cut to length. Those bins come in every size under the sun, but given the proportion I'm guessing that stock is roughly 6"x2"x3/4". Like a 3/4" thick dollar bill.
I will hand this to Ruger. The bang for buck on this marketing plan has to be pretty damn good. |

I really wish Ruger would have gone the route of the terrible IB revolver from Taurus, and chopped the cylinder to fit the the length of the 9mm round, and then chopped the frame to fit the shorter cylinder.

I like it a lot, but after trying 3 different holsters I never could get used to carrying it. The cylinder width just makes it too wide for me to carry IWB. I've heard there's a new "boot" grip that makes it pocket-carryable, but I never could find one in stock and I'd be concerned with the shootability of the .357 with that little tiny grip. Seems a bit silly to keep it around if I won't carry it, but I haven't decided yet. ETA: It is a lot of fun to pull out at the range and scare the people next stall over with, though. It's a cannon. |

I would have rather seen them keep the same overall footprint, but with the shorter cylinder, so the barrel could be extended backwards. Same size, just slightly longer barrel. |

Quoted: New teaser pic up. It's a barrel on a lathe. View Quote ....or an XGI? What else would they make that requires such a massive chamber? Though, with the large silver blanks, and huge boxes....I'm gonna go for the Gold Label. Silver monoblock would explain the earlier images and why it could be small, and since its a monoblock and long barrels, that could explain how such a thing could be made at the MO plant. Then again, I could just be talking out of my ass.

I've shot fixed sight revolvers with longer barrels that seem to hit fine, but my S&W 642 and I can't really get together on what the sights are supposed to mean. Meanwhile, I swear that one of the other J-frames in the family (my mother's LadySmith) hits with its sights better than this 642, but then I don't recall what the rear sight on that LadySmith looks like anymore. I bought my 642 before the real introduction of a grip laser for them, but after trying one I went from being a detractor of laser sights on general purpose civilian guns to a believer for shorter pistols. I don't own a laser grip yet, but it was the only sight that made sense on the 642. I would not want adjustable sights as I don't want anything else, nor anything sharp, built up on that area of the weapon and digging into my side. The 642 is an ultra-comfortable carry piece, and I don't want to change that. |
