Any one seen any new additional Ruger 44 Specials this week ?
Would love to hear that Ruger/Lipsey is still shipping.
Still waiting for order made last November 2008.

I'm still waiting for the 5 1/2" model I ordered in Nov. I hadn't planed on getting a 4 5/8" barrel gun, but Kings6 had that one for sale, so I should have that one any day now.

Two weeks ago, I placed an order for a 4 5/8 model. I already have the 5 1/2. I was told they contacted Lipseys and were told it would be 2 - 3 weeks. I was suprised they said they could get one. I was told when I ordered mine that a few weeks earlier they obtained a consecutive numbered set for another gentleman which is why I have my fingers crossed. I have a week left going by their estimate.

I ordered one last November. My gun shop called today and said it was in. I no longer want it. email me for the info to the gunshop if you are interested. I think it is a 5.5 " model and I do not know how much they want for it. I am going to look at it and get the pricing info for whoever is interested.

4 5/8 passed arrived in Arkansas last week. I think it is now in a black hole.

I ordered mine in January. Still waiting on both of them and bought one USED already. I had to put a deposit down, so there is no backing out of it, but 6 months is a bit excessive.

I kind of got in on the Lipsey Special late (I ordered it some time in March, as I remember). I finally got mine a couple of weeks ago. I am doing a trigger job on it as we speak. I'll finish it up tomorrow (waited to borrow the spring clamp from a friend). I think it is one of the best ideas out of Ruger for a long time. I am an impatient type but it certainly was worth waiting for. Mine is a 5.5" by choice and I am happy with my choice. After I get it back together, I'll take some pictures of it with it's leather.
I hope all of those that have had these ordered get theirs soon. NO ONE should be without one of these if they want one. They are THAT good and are a bargain IMO.

Wasn't there talk on the Ruger Forum that they may make this a standard model? Keep me honest here guys, because I don't want to fuel the rumor mill. If I'm wrong, it's probably wishful thinking.... -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Still waiting on a 5.5 incher I ordered last November. Ordered a holster from Rob at the same time that I got within a week of ordering!

Seems like it would be reasonable to make it a regular item as they can't seem to make enough of them at the present time. |

If Ruger is still backordered somewhere around 455K-250K units but meeting it's committment to Lipsey's I would guess the problem in distribution is at Lipsey's. If it were MY business the guns would go to orders first before being pushed on big customers but it appears that Lipsey's is pushing the guns and not making them available to orders placed by smaller volume dealers.

None down here. As I've mentioned a few times before my order was placed back in November. My dealer (a very small timer) does a monthly inquiry and here is the reply our sales rep gave us the other day:
"we have only seen but a couple in the past month and i have not received any allocated to me. unfortunatetly i was not lucky enought. i will let you know if i receive one though."
It may also be a problem within Lipsey's as to what rep gets what and then what orders they decide to fill. It's coming to the point where IF I ever do get it, I may send it off to be converted to a .357, just to be spiteful!

My Lipsey order was placed through a one man gun shop. However, I DID get my Lipsey Special along with another my buddy got. Further, my dealer's first order from Lipsey was the two Rugers.
So-o-o, I would have to say that Lipsey is not shipping "only to large dealers". Maybe Lipsey is getting a bad rap.
