Sturm, Ruger & Company was founded by William B. Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm in 1949 in a small rented machine shop in Southport, Connecticut. Just prior to their partnership, Bill Ruger had successfully duplicated two Baby Nambu pistols in his garage, from a captured Nambu that he acquired from a returning US Marine, at the close of WWII. Although deciding against marketing the Nambu pistols, he incorporated the Nambu’s rear style cocking device and a modified Nambu’s silhouette into their first commercially produced .22 caliber pistol, which became so successful that it launched the entire company. Ruger firearms are the nation’s fourth largest firearms manufacturer, and the only one producing firearms in all four market segments: rifles, shotguns, pistols, and revolvers.

Ruger is a dominant player in the .22 rimfire rifle market in the U.S. with its Ruger 10/22. The 10/22 is popular due to being relatively inexpensive and of good quality as well as the wealth of aftermarket accessories and parts available for it. In fact, it’s possible to build a 10/22 using only aftermarket parts, several of which are marketed to target shooters at prices starting at approximately $1000.

Ruger similarly dominates the .22 rimfire semiauto pistol market with the Ruger MK II and Ruger MK III. Like the 10/22, the MkII is extremely well supported with a variety of good aftermarket accessories.  The Ruger pistols are amongst the most popular.

Ruger Casting has plants in Newport, New Hampshire and Prescott, Arizona, making ferrous, ductile iron and commercial titanium castings. Ruger Golf makes steel and titanium castings for golf clubs made by a number of different brands.

Sturm, Ruger stock has been publicly traded since 1969, and became a New York Stock Exchange company in 1990.  After Alex Sturm’s death in 1951. William B. Ruger continued to direct the company until his death in 2002.

From 1949 through 2004, Ruger manufactured over 20 million firearms, and currently offers models for hunting, target shooting, self-defense, collecting, and law enforcement.

Unless you’re a gun enthusiast, you might not know exactly what constitutes a handgun. A handgun is simply a firearm that can be held and fired with one hand. The other hand can, however, be used to steady and support either the base of the gun or the other shooting hand. It is this characteristic that distinguished a handgun from other types of guns such as shotguns and rifles. They are also distinct from other types of weapons such as machine guns, which are mounted and large artillery. Handguns come in a variety of subtypes such as revolvers and pistols.

In the latter category, there are single-shot, semiautomatic, and machine. While many people use the words “handgun” and “pistol” as interchangeable in everyday conversation, there is actually a very slight, technical distinction between the two. A pistol, which is technically a subset of the overarching umbrella of handguns, has a chamber that is integral with the barrel. As handguns became more and more popular in everyday use, many companies sprang up ready to sell these popular guns. Some of the most common types of handguns are Springfield handguns and Smith & Wesson handguns.

A lot of gun owners have a preferred brand when it comes to pistols.  Many still favor S&W pistols over other pistol brands.  And you cannot blame them for sticking one of the oldest and trusted names in American firearms.

These firearms are used by the military and police as well.  They have low cost pistols that make them popular pistols.  They are actually the best selling pistols in the USA.  The most popular model is the Smith and Wesson 1911.  And this model is getting popular in the competitive shooting scene as well.

Get one of the most efficient side arms used by the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985. The Springfield 1911 or the M1911 served the U.S. armed forces throughout two world wars, the Korean war and the Vietnam war. During the 2nd world war, its official designation was Automatic Pistol Caliber .45. The basic design of the M1911 is the short recoil principle self-loading pistol. This system replaced the traditional revolver handguns that carried several limitations.
