Ruger is ALWAYS late when bringing a new model out. I ordered two of the 7.5 inch models, each one from a different dealer and both carry all the Lipsey models when they can.
One dealer wanted a deposit, the other didn't. I just have a "wait an see" attitude. I would be happy to see one by the end of October, but not holding my breath.
In the mean time the waiting gave me time to buy some dies, Starline brass, and Hornady 85 grain XTP bullets:)
