The above chart shows the approximate first serial number shipped for the indicated year. This number should be used as a point of reference only. It is not necessarily the very first serial number shipped, but it can be used to determine the approximate year your Ruger firearm was shipped.
Ruger does not produce firearms in serial number order. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers. And in some cases, models may be stored for a length of time before they are shipped.
For exact information on your specific serial number, you can contact Ruger's Records Department either by telephone or mail.

Who makes the Gemini 9mm handgun?
If you're thinking of the Gemini I'm thinking of, then you're thinking of a firm which customises - but doesn't manufacture - handguns. Gemini Customs LLC specialises primary in M1911 pistols, as well as the Ruger SP101 and various S&W revolvers, but can do projects with other pistol types as requested.
What is a good concealed carry revolver that can fire .357 and .38?
Your are asking for an opinion. There are several revolvers that would fill this role well- in my personal opinion, the Smith & Wesson Mdl 60 revolver in .357 Magnum would be the revolver of choice. You may also want to look at the Ruger SP101, preferably, in a hammerless configuration if you want it for concealed carry.
Is the 9mm handgun an automatic?
I used one in the service which was semi-automatic Cartridges of the World lists 11 different 9mm cartridges. Only one, 9mm Federal, is a rimmed cartridge suitable for use in a revolver, and as of the 1989 publication date of my copy, the Charter Arms Pit Bull was the only gun chambered for it. So, most likely, any 9mm handgun you find will be an automatic. ANSWER The Ruger Blackhawk .357 magnum single action revolver comes with an interchangeable cylinder for 9mm. The .357-.38 special uses one cylinder and the other cylinder takes the .9mm. Many people don't know this, but a so-called".38" is actually measured at .357 inches. The 9mm is measured at .356 inches, which slides precisely through the same diameter barrel as the bullets that are .001" larger. The Blackhawk single action has the ejecting rod which will poke out any empty case. Of course the 9mm cylinder has chambers bored to headspace on the front rim of brass case. It is a very accurate gun with either the 9's or.357's. As for power, the 9mm will pass through a telephone pole, so it's plenty powerful. With +P hollow-points or Glasers the 9mm is indeed a formidable round! -- Simple answer: Most of them, in fact the vast majority. But with moon clips, even a 9mm Luger (rimless cartridge designed for automatics) can be very quickly loaded and unloaded from double-action revolvers. Not only does Ruger make convertibles with their .357 Magnum Blackhawk single-action revolvers (since the rounds are only a couple thousandths of an inch different in diameter, they have also made double action revolvers just in 9mm Luger, like the SP101. The 9mm Federal was designed to replace that need, but unlike the .45 AutoRim, the 9mm Federal was pretty much stillborn. Clarification: Not all Ruger Blackhawks in .357 are Convertible models. I'd hate to have my communications lines hanging on a pole that can be penetrated by the 9mm Luger! The above statement is misleadingly incomplete in details.
