Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Ruger now has magazine compatible 5.7x28mm Carbine and Handguns. Compatibility is a compelling option as internal tensions continue to rise in the United States. Caliber consolidation is a budget-conscious approach to ensuring you have the resources your family and clan will need. A handgun caliber compatible Carbine can save money and storage space when considering uses in various applications along with the handgun.
The Carbine comes in a standard configuration (Pictured) and two models with less scary features for communist states. Those may not be compatible with the handgun’s 20 round magazines. The handgun comes in several designs, included on the page is a neat video showing a cutaway of the handgun’s functions.
I took the liberty of making a request to Sturm, Ruger, & Co., Inc., asking for one each of the Carbine and Handgun to write an online review of both here at TCJ. Although we don’t expect an answer, you just never know. Herschel should keep an on the Blog’s email inbox. I knew he wouldn’t mind ;-)
American Rifleman also has a good review of this new pistol. I think it’s a nice looking pistol, and I’d carry it for personal defense.
It’s nice to see Ruger being innovative lately. I like that we’ve now got a made-in-America pistol chambered for the 5.7×28 round, and this one has reflex sight mounting plates for sale. The FN 5.7 is also made in America (in Virginia), but I think you know what I mean. I also like the fact that it’s an internal hammer pistol like the FN 5.7 (rather than striker-fired). FN is going to feel the competition.
With that said, the MSRP is too high. I’d suggest with a drop in about $150-$200 off the MSRP, Ruger would sell a load of these.
