In the recent weeks, Ruger announced several new firearms including:

• the LC9s,
• Gunsite Scout rifles in .223,
• Ranch and left-handed models of the American Rifle, and
• the LCR chambered in 9mm.

It seems that they have one more thing to introduce. In a flash sweepstakes similar to the one leading up to the new Gunsite Scout rifle launch, Ruger announced they will introduce a new firearm and that the company has “…saved the best for last.”

Ruger doesn’t give any details, but the sweepstakes rules indicate the gun will have an approximate retail value of $550 – $950. That is a broad range, but it would suggest that variants of guns on either end of the pricing spectrum ( like the LCP or SR-762) would be ruled out. In fact, a significant number of Ruger’s products fall outside of that range.

There has been speculation in the past that Ruger will introduce a new line of shotguns. What are your thoughts? What would you like to see?
