[surprise_i'm_armed]

The Academy Sports and Outdoors ad, valid for the dates of November 15-21, 2015,
contains the following 6 handguns for sale. There is 1 revolver and 5 pistols.

Primary sort = Revolver, then pistols.
Secondary sort = Ascending by caliber.

REVOLVER.
Taurus Judge Public Defender, FDE (Flat Dark Earth) with a black cylinder and black
rubber grips, .45 LC/.410 gauge, 5 rounds, DA/SA, $349.99.
This is marked "Exclusive", most likely due to Academy offering it in FDE.

PISTOLS.
Taurus PT22, .22 LR, 8 + 1 rounds, DA, $179.99.

Smith and Wesson Bodyguard with laser, .380 ACP, 6 + 1 rounds, DA, $369.99.

Ruger SR-9E, fullsize, 9MM, 17 + 1 rounds, DA/SA, manual safety, $349.99.
This pistol, in all respects that I can see, is a clone of the Ruger SR9, but
Ruger prices it lower than the SR9 due to some "decontenting".
I don't know if the "E" stands for "Economy"model, but that's how I remember
where this one fits in the Ruger hierarchy.

Smith and Wesson M & P (Military and Police), 9MM & .40, compact and fullsize,
round counts vary, DA, $449.99.

Springfield Armory XD (eXtreme Duty), Mod 2, 9MM & .40, SA, $479.99.
The Mod 2's have the varied grip surfaces. I have handled them at gun shows
and was not super impressed with the feel, but they felt OK.

Happy shopping shootists.
