Ruger SR9 why so hard to find?

[Jeromeo]

Just wondering why the Ruger SR9 is so difficult to find in certain configurations. I am interested in the all black or OD colours but I can only seem to find them in stainless finish. Am I not looking in the right places?

The OD model has been discontinued.

All black is backordered at Cabelas. There will be stock eventually. Order one or be patient for stock.

Ruger can't make them fast enough, that's why. The black model sells in the US like ice cubes in H-E-double-hockey-sticks.

Unfortunately, the OD model has been discontinued (it was the one model that for some reason wasn't popular down south) and NO, mine is NOT for sale!!!

Awesome gun, great price equals hard to find. I have an OD one, it is on the never sell list. I've been offered $650 for it and turned it down (politely).

Great answers guys. Makes a lot of sense. Too bad the OD has been discontinued. I really liked the looks of it.

I was at International Shooting Supplies in Surrey on Friday and they had an all black one in the display case.

I had one they're alright, but if you're paying more than $500 for it, might as well get a gently used Glock gen4 or M&P. I like them better.

I definitely agree. It is between those three.

Damn.. I really like the look of that one.

I've only ever used one... One from the first batches to hit canada. Many years ago, I felt that it was a very inferior pistol compared to my glock 17 and the glock shot circles around the sr9... What I really noticed was how crunchy the trigger felt. I was not impressed at all... By what I'm reading from your opinions make me think that I should give the sr9 another chance. Maybe they have improved.

Triggers are still gritty and heavy but they do improve I'm told after 300+ rounds. Just last weekend at Cabelas they had a few so not impossible to find

The distributors have recently shipped. We just got ours too after waiting almost a year.

I really wanted one in OD as well but had to settle for the two-tone. I love it and would only consider selling/trading it for an OD version.

To answer the original question, they are hard to find because they sell quickly. They sell quickly because you get alot of gun for the money

I just noticed there is a Black on Black one on the EE right now.

A large shipment came to Canada about 2 weeks ago according to the folks at Ruger. My replacement gun is amongst the shipment!
