I would be a sad day, indeed, if Ruger Corp. decides to stop making the #1... and Bill Ruger would be turning over in agony in his grave if that would happen since the #1 was his "baby".
However, "Rule #1" in Corporate America is whether or not a product is "profitable" and sells well... and to he!! with nostalgia or tradition or the "uniqueness" of the product.
Corporate America's "focus" has always been and will always be "the-bottom-line"... and "p-r-o-f-i-t" is not a dirty, 6-letter word, it's the reason all of us do what we do whether you call it "profit", "salary" or "hourly wage".
Regardless... we know what the Ruger #1 is all about and why we care so very much about it's future. So get 'em while you can, gentlemen, and be happy Ruger is still makin' 'em... 'cause, sadly, nothing-"IS"-forever!
Strength & Honor...
