AMARILLO, TX – Only available from the Italian Firearms Group family of dealers and distributors, Tanfoglio’s new Force 22 TB is a full-sized 22LR pistol comparable in size to Tanfoglio’s extensive line up of superior competition pistols. As such, the Force 22 TB offers pistol competitors the ultimate option for low-cost practice in an extremely accurate and ergonomic semi-automatic rimfire.

The Force 22 TB is also perfect for a fun day at the range, working on drills or general marksmanship practice. With its threaded barrel (the “TB” in its name), the Force 22 TB can do all these jobs suppressed.

The Force 22 TB features a polymer frame and durable aluminum slide. Operating with a blowback system, the pistol’s barrel is fixed in place. That barrel is CNC machined from the highest quality chrome molybdenum steel for years and years of use. The smooth double/single action trigger system mirrors that of the competition models, the magazine catch is reversible for left hand shooters, includes full size ambidextrous safety, and the rear sight is fully adjustable.

GENESEO, ILL. – Combining the performance of a larger handgun with class-leading concealability to provide an exceptional everyday carry pistol, the Springfield Armory® Hellcat® Pro 9mm pistol is now available with a frame-mounted ambidextrous manual safety.

Designed to deliver the perfect balance, the new Hellcat Pro is a compact pistol chambered in 9mm that offers 15+1 capacity in a smaller footprint than any other gun in its class. The pistol packs in impressive capacity while still maintaining the ergonomic, slim profile of the original Hellcat for seamless concealability. And the addition of the low-profile yet easily engageable ambidextrous safety further enhances its capabilities.

At just 1″ wide, the slim-line grip of the pistol feels superb in the hand, while the additional mass in the slide and barrel translates into reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots. The lightweight polymer frame features our Adaptive Grip Texture™, a seamless, pressure-activated texture featuring a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. Additionally, the location of the ambidextrous manual safety at the rear of the frame makes the application of it natural and intuitive for both left- and right-handed users. Read more

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. Reports First Quarter Diluted Earnings of 81¢ Per Share and Declares Quarterly Dividend of 32¢ Per Share

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) announced today that for the first quarter of 2023, net sales were $149.5 million and diluted earnings were 81¢ per share. For the corresponding period in 2022, net sales were $166.6 million and diluted earnings were $1.70 per share.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of 32¢ per share for the first quarter for stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023, payable on May 31, 2023. This dividend varies every quarter because the Company pays a percentage of earnings rather than a fixed amount per share. This dividend is approximately 40% of net income.

Chief Executive Officer Christopher J. Killoy commented on the first quarter of 2023, “Decreased consumer demand led to a 10% reduction in first quarter sales compared to the prior year. We took a disciplined approach, targeted a production mix that better aligned with consumer demand, and continued to responsibly manage our overall production levels to reflect market conditions as we did throughout 2022. This is evidenced by the slight reduction in both our finished goods inventory and the inventory of our products at distributors, which sets us on a solid path for the remainder of the year.”

Mr. Killoy reiterated the Company’s steadfast commitment to its disciplined approach, “Our long-term focus will continue to yield strong cash flow, prioritize the development of innovative new products, and safeguard our robust, debt-free balance sheet, which in turn will allow us to withstand the volatility of the ever-changing firearms market.” Read more
