Yes, it's obviously a step up from the TAPCO-stocked previous tactical Mini-14s, but the new ones aren't what I would consider a "major" release. I will toss in my vote for #6 being correct.

I mean frankly, it's not the easiest gun to control and shoot accurately as it stands. What I think they needed in way of pistols are the following: - Ruger SR-9 Sub-compact - Ruger P-390 (P-345 chambered in 9mm) Oh, I just want to add that I am not sure I’d see the benefit of a 9mm LCP.

FAIL" I don't know, I'd wager this one was correct. They did some extra polishing and rounding on certain parts. Offered in a new tactical configuration utilizing 3rd party stock. And offered a version with a Flash Suppressor. So that's 3 out of 8 correct. And "2. A new cartridge will be unveiled. FAIL (one was launched just before SHOT but it is not yet a production cartridge)" There was the one cartridge announced that was a necked down version of the .327 Magnum. So that might count. And bring you up to half-right. “6. Ruger Mini-14 will get a minor upgrade but not what people where hoping for. FAIL”
