To add to the informational mix on availability...
In Houston, Academy appears to be bringing in quite a few.
I checked at the 290/34th store on Sunday and was told that the had gotten in 8 the week before but that they all sold.
He also said that they expected more in the next day on Monday (Dec.29) and that I should check back in the morning.
I did, and they had some more. I bought one of them, and the sales guy called it a "kit" because they now come with the Ruger monogrammed plastic case. The LCP also came with two mags, but no mag extension.
My serial number is 370-727**.
I'm guessing that makes it one of the late production pistols of the 370 series that was "Diamond" reworked perhaps even before being shipped a first time. My conjecture, though.
It looks like if anyone in the Houston area wants one, Academy is the place to go.
And by the way, they did raise the price from their former $299.00 to $329.00, maybe because of the pretty box that now comes with it. :
