At some point things have to level off. Over the past couple of years I've picked up more Rugers (new) than other makes. They came out with 3 models that I really liked:
SP101 4.2" .357
SP101 4.2" .22
77/357
Ruger has a knack for making products that fit folks' desires/needs, are unique, and still have the ability to sell beyond a niche market. That's a tough thing to do.
They're also the only company I'm aware of that has a "talk to the CEO" feature on their website - and a CEO that reads every one. They had a survey asking what folks would like to see to improve the Hawkeye and a second one asking what products Ruger should concentrate on next with a big list of choices - AR styles, 1911's, revolvers, shotguns, etc.
Actually asking people what they want - what a concept!
