From what I heard that is the truth. Very tough to find one. They fly out the door. Very good gun, not too picky with ammo. It is a bit tough to clean though, but that's just MHO.SR22? The hottest sell 22 semi-auto in a decade. There must be a reason. Ruger did their homework on this one. I love mine, my shooting buddy loves his, the rest of our shooting friends are trying to find one. They just don't stay on the shelf at the gun shops very long.
