Ruger is in a hurry to get 2018 started off right with a solid set of new additions to their catalog, from casual plinkers to hard-hitters. They’re also updating some of their more popular products to make them more market-friendly.<\/p>\n

The company is adding a handful of both new and improved rifles and handguns starting with two new 1911 pistols chambered for 9mm Luger.<\/p>\n

First up is the SR1911 Target in 9mm<\/a>, a full-size 1911 and the third Target model so far, following .45 ACP and 10mm Auto. The Target is a competition-ready pistol with aggressive checkering and slide serrations along with a skeletonized hammer and trigger.<\/p>\n

Like the other models, the 9mm version has fully-adjustable target sights and oversize, extended slide stop and magazine release levers. With flush magazines, the Target has a 9+1-round capacity.<\/p>\n

Next is the new SR1911 Lightweight Officer<\/a>, an alloy-framed pistol for concealed-carry. This handgun pairs an officer-style frame with a very compact 3.6-inch slide and frame. The result is a light, 27-ounce single-stack with an 8+1-round capacity.<\/p>\n

Both of the new 1911s feature the company’s monolithic frames with integral plunger tubes that can’t come loose. They also come with machined G-10 grips, enlarged beavertail grip safeties, lowered and flared ejection ports and matte stainless slides with nitride-finished barrels.<\/p>\n

The Target model has a matching matte stainless frame while the Lightweight Officer has a black hard anodized frame for a bold two-tone look. They’re priced at $1,019 and $979, respectively, so expect real-world pricing to start around $800.<\/p>\n\"Ruger \"Ruger\n

The company is also expanding their American family of rifles with new rimfire and camo options. They’re adding a Ruger American Rimfire Target model with an adjustable black laminate thumbhole stock and free-floated, threaded, match-grade barrel.<\/p>\n

For shooters looking to replicate the long-range shooting experience but want to keep things on a tight budget, there’s the new Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle. Built to look and feel like a Ruger Precision Rifle or RPR this new gun is chambered for .22 Long Rifle and uses common 10\/22 magazines.<\/p>\n

Like all RPRs the .22 model can be customized with AR-pattern grips and selector levers and comes standard with a fully-adjustable stock. One nice touch is an angled 30 MOA scope rail for longer-range shooting. These guns are likely to list for just under $500.<\/p>\n

Also from now on all RPRs will come standard with modular M-Lok free-floating handguards. Previously Ruger used KeyMod handguards for these guns, the less popular of these two standards.<\/p>\n

That’s not the only rimfire gun debuting this 2018. The company’s adding two new Mark IV pistols with improved takedown. One is a Target model<\/a> with a threaded bull barrel and the other is a Lightweight 22\/45<\/a> with a skeletonized frame and compact barrel.<\/p>\n

The new 22\/45 should list for around $500 or less. The Target model is a bit more expensive and should list for around $600.<\/p>\n

For real long-range shooting Ruger’s introducing their Hawkeye in .300 Winchester Magnum<\/a>. This target rifle features a heavy barrel with 5R rifling, a removable 20 MOA rail,\u00a0and adjustable laminate stock. The rifle uses Accuracy International-pattern magazines and comes with one 5-round detachable Magpul magazine.<\/p>\n

The new Hawkeye is also very competitively priced with a $1,279 MSRP. Real-world prices are going to be a lot closer to $1,000.<\/p>\n\"Ruger\n

For Ruger fans everywhere, the decision this year won’t be which Ruger to buy, but which Ruger to buy first.<\/p>\n
