2009 Shot Show Rumors?

[alienbogey]

Anyone hear any rumors of new handguns to be announced at the Shot Show next week?

I'm all ready to buy a new pistol, but want to see what new-and-shiny thing might be coming that I didn't know I really need.

The only one I have heard is the one about the new Sig P238...and I am not sure I believe it yet.

The Desert Eagle .380 will be there I am told.

Is S&W going to be there?? They are not showing on the map or list of companies

Those are actually in stores. I was seriously disappointed in the one I saw. It looked and felt like something a gunmaker would have made twenty years ago and not a modern micro pistol.

Ruger info from Gunblast.com

Look for some new products and variations for the coming year from Ruger, like the long-awaited Flattop Blackhawk .44 Special, the Anniversary Super, and the return of the six-shot .480 Super Redhawk, at least for a while. There are a couple of new chamberings for the Number 1 rifle, a .480 Ruger/.475 Linebaugh, and a .460 S&W Magnum. Ruger also has a pair of very interesting firearms in the works which we shall see in 2009. For now, I am sworn to secrecy, but do not miss our daily SHOT Show updates starting on January 14, 2009.

I agree with that, it looks like someone in the RD department had an old issue of Gun Digest for insperation. If you going to pay that much might as well get the Kahr, better aesthetics in my opinion.
