  If Ruger stiocks with their past production schedules, you'll likely see the newer model start hitting the shelves around April.  Seems they always have the new models and a large amount of previously cataloged model shipping around that time.  It also kinda depends on the orders recieved from distributors.  I'd expect to see the new Target Mini possibly a bit sooner as there's definately interest in that one.  keep in mind that initially these will all be allocated by the distributors.  Meaning, they'll make what they recieve available to thier higher volume sales people who in turn will offer them up to thier higher volume dealers.  Makes loyalty and sales to a distributor by a dealer mean a little more when they can obtain the harder to find models
