Like an SR-1911 Commander, SR-45, a LCR-22WMR, a LC-380, and more. Several new rifle variations, like a stainless GSR.

Some of this page is not brand new today, but all the ones announced today are on it. Have a look:

Now if they can get 'em in the stores, keep up with demand, and have great QC...........

LC380..... Somebody figured out that a ppk sized 380 is more fun to shoot than a lcp.

I like the other new models. The threaded Sr22 and the reintroduced refusal Alaskan in 480 Ruger.

Nice work sturm Ruger and co

I didn't notice the new Mark III grips right away. The gold 22/45 Lite is gone, new Guide Rifle for $1200....

.....Lots of goodies.

Big buzz on Ruger Forum (.net) is the possibility of an Officer model SR-1911, now that Ruger did the Commander.

Most of this is just new calibers and materials with modest changes in design. The Commander is the nearest to a new gun, since it meant a new slide and barrel (and frame?).

My wish list is headed by a break-top stainless .22 with fixed sights and traditional grips. Maybe that will be the next truly new model......

For me the SR-22 and the SR-556 were attractive new models. Although the SR-22 looks a whole lot externally like a Nordic receiver kit on a regular 10/22.

If its like the old SR22, then it is a 10/22 on a Nordic chassis.

Wait... A threaded SR22 barrel? Doesn't the SR22 also have detachable magazines?

Ruger is making some sort of super-assualt pistol, only law enforcement and military should be trusted with these

Just kidding, I like the new additions to Ruger's product line. Just had to laugh at the threaded SR22 as Feinstein is trying to make up a new type of firearm category, the "assault pistol". I believe the SR22 (especially with the threaded barrel) would qualify as an assault pistol.

Under the Feinstein and Biden rules, the threaded barrel, detachable magazine and black color would each make it an assault weapon. The threaded barrel will allow the SR22 to catch up with its look-alike the P22. If you lay one on top of the other, they are difficult to tell apart. The SR22 is a better pistol, IMO.

Ruger has had some really good additions to their line, lately. The SR45 looks interesting.
