Ruger

The action is hammer-fired rather than striker-fired, and the trigger feels surprisingly crisp for such a small handgun. The .22 LR produces very little recoil, so new shooters shouldn’t have much trouble acclimating to it.

When Ruger announced their new Ruger-57 handgun late last year, the firearms industry took notice. The 5.7x28mm cartridge isn’t what you’d call “mainstream.” But Ruger’s decision to jump into the 5.7 game has sparked a renewed interest in the little bottleneck, and we stopped by their booth at Shot SHOW 2020 to see it for ourselves.

Ruger is launching two new pistols that are guaranteed to be crowd-pleasers, the new Ruger LCP II in .22 Long Rifle and the new Ruger-57 in 5.7x28mm.

With the new Security 9 Pro series, Ruger’s dropping the manual safety feature and instead going with … nothing at all.

Both models feature tail-mounted Picatinny rail adapters for fixed and folding pistol braces like those made by SB Tactical.

Ruger came out swinging with a 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine last year, with a design that rocked us back on our heels. Building on that success, they have just released a new chassis version, with all the bells and whistles.

It’s the 70th anniversary of the 10/22 and Ruger’s working hard to make sure everyone has a reason to celebrate it. They’re announcing new 10/22 products as fast as they can and ramping up their rimfire selection from entry-level to competition-ready.

The Wrangler is NOT a cheap gun. It is, however, a well-engineered gun that makes use of materials and engineering that keeps the costs down so anyone (everyone?) can roll tin cans and slay steel (or pot a squirrel or two) with impunity!

Ruger is launching a new “chassis” version of their popular PC Carbine chambered for 9mm Luger that accepts AR-pattern grips and stocks.
