Ditto on that. You can place an order for one for $519 plus tax at the LGS around here - problem is; Ruger cannot, or is not, shipping them at all. None, nada. Ruger has only shipped two batches; the original 'test' batch of several hundred and one later batch of, maaaayyyybee, a thousand or so. That's it. They are not actively producing them for some reason.
Sooooooo, if I worked at S&W, I would tell you; "$519? Really?!? Well, our price on the 617 is only $450 when WE CAN'T SHIP! But the ones we ACTUALLY CAN sell, we sell for $700ish"
Time will tell what Ruger's problem is.
