Just realized I sent you the reply to this particular message when it
originally went to only the "mail.firearms" mailing list and not to
mod.rec.guns, so here is a copy you can put into the newsgroup just
before my response, if you so desire...

Subject:  Mail.Firearms: Ruger XG1 will not be manufactured

The new issue of American Rifleman states that Ruger has discontinued plans
to produce the XG1, because they can't get it to work reliably enough to
suit them.  None were ever sold commercially - only test guns were made and
distributed (but apparently some actually are floating around out there -
they aren't all held by Ruger - at least that's the implication of the short
mention they gave it).
