View Details →Sturm, Ruger & Company was founded in 1949 by William B. Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm in Southport, Connecticut. The company initially found success with the Ruger Standard .22 caliber pistol, which fueled its growth. During the 1950s and 1960s, Ruger expanded its product range with innovations like the Single-Six revolver and .44 Magnum Carbine. Going public in 1969 and opening its foundry allowed the company to maintain control over quality. Today, Sturm Ruger firearms is the largest firearms manufacturer in the U.S., offering a wide variety of Ruger rifles, Ruger handguns, and Ruger shotguns, all known for their quality and innovative design.
Some of Ruger's most popular models include the 10/22 Rifle, GP100 revolver, and the Security-9 polymer striker fired pistol. The 10/22 is famous for being a reliable, highly customizable, semi-auto .22LR enjoyed by all types of shooters. The GP100 is a robust .357 Magnum revolver featured in various configurations and barrel lengths. The Security-9 is a budget friendly 9mm striker fired pistol with a 15+1 capacity. If you're looking for a more traditional bolt action or precision competion style rifle, Ruger has you covered.
To select the right Ruger firearms, you must first determine your primary use: target shooting, home defence, competition, or concealed carry. Consider the size and weight preferences based on your primary use. Select the proper calibre for your use and evaluate the features like capacity and aftermarket support. Compare different models and their features, like the LCP II for deep concealment or the Security-9 for versatility. Or the American Rifle would be best for hunting season. It's safe to say that no matter your use case, Ruger has a firearm for your needs.
Ruger accessories are plentiful for a wide range of their models. The most accessorized model is the 10/22 that has aftermarket support from countless manufacturers. You can customize every component on a 10/22. The Ruger MKIV pistol also has a ton of aftermarket support. There are other accessories availalbe many of their models.
Consistently maintain and clean your Ruger pistols as your user manual outlines to ensure longevity and proper function. Ensure proper firearm safety protocols before maintaining or cleaning your weapon, and ensure the chamber is clear before continuing. Properly lubricate any moving parts with suitable gun oil and avoid over-lubrication. Wipe down any excess lubrication and remove any residue or fingerprints. Inspect all parts for wear or damage during cleaning. Store your firearm correctly in a dry, climate-controlled space to guarantee proper operation.
Ruger incorporates several key safety features in their firearms such as trigger safeties, external safeties, internal drop safeties and hammer catches depending on the model. Ruger emphasizes mechanical safeties are not a substitute for proper firearm handling and storage practicies. Make sure you throughly read the manual and follow all safety procedures: treat every firearm as if it is loaded, never point it at anything you do not intend to shoot, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and store firearms securely when not in use. Regular training and adherence to safety practices are crucial for responsible gun ownership.
