Held one at Fin today ($309.99) - nce fit and felt right at home. Trigger pull DA was harsh, SA less but still a little hard. Needed broke in I guess. Would make an excellent little sidearm for groundhog hinting or when you might need a .22 to finish something off instead of the shotgun or high power rifle.

I wanted to buy it but muffler on my car has a large hole in it, and a ticket is not what I need right now. Also, wife said no, but that might change.

This is across the board and not limited to just Ruger. Artificialling raising prices....and consumers flock. Look at the Springfield XDS. Seen any around yet?

My $350 cost for a 9mm NIB Sub Compact Springfield Armory about five years ago now seems like a bargain. Glad I made the investment.

Ruger doesn't sell to dealers they sell to wholesalers. Pretty much a dealer has to pay what the wholesaler charges. The bigger wholesaler gets the weapons and the smaller ones don't when a shortage is occurring. Our system rewards those who have the means to pay for what society has to offer. Before blaming Ruger for price gouging (are you?), .

Ya know, nearly everyone on this thread understands what I'm saying in my post except you. I wonder why that is...just a statement; not a question.

Ruger establishes the MSRP not the distributor and not the dealer. Normally when a dealer gets a break from a distributor, he can pass it on to the consumer if he wants. Seldom will a consumer actually pay MSRP. Therefore, since Ruger has upped its designated MSRP, they have, in yurn, raised the distributor's cost and thus the dealer...Ruger, not the distributor or dealer, are guilty of jacking up probable prices by the increase in the MSRP...yes, they're gouging.

Does this mean you need one in the future?

Sorry, LHS, I just had to say it......the devil made me do it!
