Price didn't help either.Ugliest revolver has released ever.
Not surprised it didn’t sell.
Any decent gunsmith could convert 45 Colt Redhawk or S&W into 45 Colt / 45 ACP. I know, it will cost somewhat, but it could be done.I contacted Ruger regarding a model #5050 Redhawk in .45 ACP / .45 Colt. It was listed as “currently unavailable”. Maybe it still is. The person who responded to my inquiry said that Currently Unavailable means none are in stock and none are in the process of being manufactured. If the gun was no longer going to be made it would be listed as “Discontinued” then eventually removed from their pages.

Just found:
Model 25-7 .45 Colt: Can it be converted to .45 acp?
You can send the cylinder to TK Custom or Pinnacle and they will
cut it so You can shoot both rounds. Runs just under $300.00
Having said that there were only a couple thousand 25-7's made.
They are known for being VERY good shooters. So being a small
number, I'd check with Smith and see if they will still install a 45
colt cylinder on your gun then send it off. Will cost a bunch but...
Then do conversion with no harm nor foul.

BTW, is 45 ACP cylinder on S&W 25 shorter than 45 Colt? Talking about dimension from ratchet to front end.
I'm guessing you failed to understand the Super GP100 intended application. Hint; it's not for casual plinking......Ugliest revolver has released ever.

All the revolver manufacturers who also make semi autos have cut back on revolver production and have been for years. They'll offer their cheapest and most popular revolvers, but the less popular and/or pricey ones get put on backorder for when other orders are fulfilled.If demand rather than supply is the issue, Ruger many switch to doing this version as a distributor special. The No.1 single shot has been staying in their catalog this way for years, so there's precedent.
Holy Cow! I went and looked at the Super GP100 on the Ruger site and almost fell out of my chair when I saw the MSRP of $1,859.00.

I am pretty sure it around $1300 when I last looked.
No.Is Ruger done with this?
