Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is excited to announce two new additions to the Mark IV™ series of rimfire pistols: the Mark IV 22/45™ Tactical and the Mark IV Competition. Since the launch of the Mark IV at the end of 2016, customers have been anxious to learn when their favorite configurations of the previous Mark III™ pistols would be available. These additions to the Mark IV family bring the total number of Mark IV models up to nine, with more additions planned for later this year. Ruger expects to duplicate a dozen of the most popular Mark III pistols in the Mark IV line and, as always, will continue to innovate this iconic product.

The Mark IV 22/45 Tactical features a lightweight polymer grip frame with rubberized replaceable grip panels that simulate the classic feel and grip angle of the SR1911®. The 4.40″ barrel with a ½”-28 thread pattern is perfect for the addition of the Silent-SR® or a flash suppressor. The pistol is equipped with fully adjustable sights and factory-installed Picatinny rails on both the top and bottom of the barreled receiver to allow for mounting of lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories.

The Mark IV Competition features a cold hammer-forged, 6.88″ slab-sided bull barrel and hardwood laminate, thumbrest competition grips. The grip frame is CNC machined from one solid piece of stainless steel. The fully adjustable target sights are mounted on the barreled receiver for permanent sight-to-barrel alignment, a design with greater inherent accuracy potential than moving-slide designs. The all stainless steel model weighs an impressive 45.8 ounces for maximum stability in bullseye competition. Read more

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to introduce a .45 Auto Ruger American Pistol® Compact with an ambidextrous manual safety. Introduced in a duty size in 2015, the feature-rich and moderately priced Ruger American Pistol is proving to be one of the best duty pistols on the market today. Designed with the latest U.S. Military standards in mind, the gun endured testing in the harshest environmental conditions to prove its rugged reliability.

Ruger polled law enforcement and military trainers throughout the country to select the form, function and features of this firearm. The resultant pistol combines a recoil-reducing barrel cam (which better spreads recoil over time) with a low-mass slide, low center of gravity and a low-bore axis to provide better balance, less felt recoil and less muzzle flip than comparable pistols.

The Ruger American Pistol also features a pre-tensioned striker system, which allows for a short takeup trigger with positive reset, and a modular wrap-around grip system that adjusts palm swell and trigger reach to fit a wide range of hand sizes.

This compact model with ambidextrous manual safety, chambered in .45 Auto, is 7.25″ long and 4.65″ high with a 3.75″ barrel and weighs in at 29 ounces with an empty magazine. It ships with medium and large replaceable grip modules and two nickel-Teflon® plated steel magazines (one 10-round extended magazine and one 7-round compact magazine). The Ruger American Pistol Compact shares all of the features and rugged reliability of the duty size gun in a smaller, lighter, more concealable package. Read more

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, praised the bipartisan introduction of S. 593, the Target and Marksmanship Training Support Act of 2017 in the U.S. Senate, sponsored by Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), John Boozman (R-La.) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.).

“This legislation would provide state fish and game agencies more flexibility to use Pittman-Robertson excise taxes dollars raised from the sale of firearms and ammunition to enhance existing public shooting ranges and to build new ones to meet the growing need for additional places for target shooters to participate in their sport,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel. “Public shooting ranges provide hunters a place to sight in rifles and shotguns before hunting seasons, for people to take firearm safety and hunter education courses and, for recreational target shooters to enjoy their sport.”

The senators cited the economic benefits of sustaining the shooting sports, as well as continued access to public range facilities for citizens to practice marksmanship skills. Money paid in excise taxes is what sustains construction and maintenance of public ranges. Increased access and improved quality ranges make it easier for marksmen to participate in the sport. This legislation mirrors what was introduced in previous Congressional sessions, but was never put forward for presidential approval. Read more
