Sturm, Ruger and Company was founded in 1949 by William B. Ruger and Alexander Sturm in Southport, Connecticut.

Its first product was a .22 pistol, and Ruger grew into one of the largest firearms makers in the United States, known for rugged revolvers, rifles and pistols.

Availability

Model names, versions and production change over time. Check the Ruger website or a licensed dealer for current availability.

Safety First

Treat every firearm as loaded, keep it pointed in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Buy only from a federally licensed dealer, take a certified safety course and check current state and local laws before buying, carrying or transporting any firearm.
