Southport, CT –-(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to introduce a new line of full-size duty pistols. ~ The Ruger American Pistol.

Designed with the latest U.S. Military standards in mind, the Ruger American Pistol is built to perform in the harshest conditions.  A true American innovation, this new pistol is a revolutionary platform for Ruger.

Ruger polled law enforcement and military trainers throughout the country to determine the form, function and features of this firearm.

The resultant new 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.

“The Ruger American Pistol is the most advanced semi-auto pistol we have ever produced,” noted Ruger CEO Mike Fifer.  “Rugged, reliable, and a great value in the finest Ruger tradition, the Ruger American Pistol is ready for duty anywhere in the world.   Our customers deserve the opportunity to ensure their security with such a well-engineered pistol from an American company they can trust – Ruger,” he concluded.

Every Ruger American Pistol is built on a rigid, one-piece, precision-machined, black nitrided, stainless steel chassis with integral frame rails and fire control housing.  Additional features include genuine Novak LoMount Carry three-dot sights, a stainless steel slide with non-reflective, black nitride finish, a one-piece, high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame and a mil-standard 1913 accessory rail.

Available in 9mm Luger and .45 Auto, the 9mm weighs in at 30 ounces with a 4.20” barrel and the .45 weighs in at 31.5 ounces with a 4.50” barrel.  Both ship in a hard case with replaceable grip modules and two, nickel-Teflon plated steel magazines (17-round for 9mm and 10-round for .45 Auto; 10-round magazines are also available for the 9mm where required).

Got the American 2 weeks ago and love it. It’s a little heavier than my Glock 19, but has less recoil and shot
Tight groups. ,Got it because my wife and two daughters want to learn how to shoot. The extra grips make it easy to fit
All sizes of hands. Love my Glock, but will add this to my go to Gun.

My Ruger American Pistol in 45 Auto is incredible. Absolutely love the design, grip, and accuracy. Ruger really put alot of engineering into this handgun. Built like a tank and one of my favorite handguns in my collection. Next to my Steyr S-40.

That gun sure has a lotta corners and angles. What ever happened to the refined lines and elegance of guns like the Hi Power?

Adam Nicholson

Took a look at both the .45 and 9mm yesterday. Feels like a very well made and well balanced weapon. Any plans for a .40 in the works?

Ruger, Thank you with the guns you make no American should buy imports. Be American buy American.

Kind of reminds me of an Arsenal Strike One, another pistol I’ll never see in CA

Big Bill

Peening, Maybe?
But I’m not sure how that would be seen on a pistol.

What the heck is penning when referring to a pistol??

When will these be available? I would like to beta test one of the .45s for Indiana Gun Owners (ingunowners.com) since I cannot shoot a regular 1911 due to the high recoil curve since I had reconstructive shoulder surgery due to an injury while deployed. It will interesting to see how well the recoil reducing cam works for the Oathkeepers that were injured in the line of duty. I await the arrival at my regular brick and mortar store here in Kokomo, IN. Thank you Ruger!
