I got one for $1300 if you want it?

Glad it worked out for you. Guess you found out how hard it is to get through on the telephone.

Yeah... they aren't easily reached on the phone, but I've managed to talk to them twice now. They're real helpful once on the phone.

It comes in on Friday!

Just ordered it from Vance. They had 1 left!!
I have checked all over Houston and even Austin with no luck. One dealer I know well here in town said they are WAY back-ordered and it could be a year! before they get one. So I ordered it immediately from Ohio.

Hopefully, I'll have it by this weekend. I can't wait!

I"m guessing that based on the supply, I could flip it for a few hundred dollars. I don't plan on doing that because I want this gun, but it's a nice piece of mind if for some reason I don't like it.

That's a good point.
I've found one online that I'm about to have sent to my FFL. I figure worst case, I could sell it for about what I pay for it since it's so hard to find.

I don't intend to make it a carry gun often, if at all. It will be more for fun, IDPA at times, and the occasional pig or varmint.

Couldn't get a reason why.

Word on the Ohio Concealed Carry Forum is Vance's have a lot in stock for $699. There's a Ruger weekend coming up there next weekend, so they were sent a large supply of them.

Vance's is both one of the largest firearms dealer in Ohio as well as the most aggressively priced dealer in Ohio, and they get a lot of product that is hard to get anywhere else.

Here is their website. Call the store and have it shipped to your FFL. The sales tax you save will about equal the shipping anyway.

Thanks!! I'll call them when they're open again!

I was told this yesterday. The range I shoot at had 3 when it first came out. I wish I would have purchased then.
That same place said what's quoted above.

They said they same about another gun (non-Ruger but can't remember which it was).

Awesome. I hope I can get a hold of one soon. I didn't realize they were in such short supply.
Thanks for the input guys.

I found this thread which was very helpful and has me dying to get one, but was curious how many on this forum own one now.

Also, how do you like it? Of course, I'd like to hear the thoughts of all those who own it... and even those who have only shot it.

I turn 41 in 2 days, and this may be my b-day gift to myself (well, really from my wife as she allows me to purchase it).
