No doubt they will sell a boatload, especially at that price point. A pistol in this size/capacity niche from one of my favorite gun companies piques my interest, but the 3.25lb trigger and the non-ambi thumb safety both kill it.
Maybe Ruger will come out with a hammer fired true DAO version down the line? If theres any company willing to make production runs to appease a minority of its customer base, that company is Ruger.
