Those sketches are neat, made me think about my affinity for the Ruber semi-autos, suppose I am a fan although I never think much about them, traded off several Ruger single actions for someting new and shiney. Only ever sent one semi-auto down the line.

As Paul Harvey would say here is the rest of the story. These guns evolved into the Ruger 9MM P85. In this Triggs sketch, he is working on the advertising for the new pistol. Pictured is prototype # V000041.

Don,
Thanks for sharing! Great info there on the P85 development.
Those are the first pictures of an early concept in the "P Series" that I have ever seen.
Thanks for sharing.
