 The first Ruger firearm was the Ruger Standard .22 caliber pistol designed by Bill Ruger in 1949. He wanted to make a .22 pistol for plinking, target shooting, camping, and small game hunting which would be simple, reliable, and affordable. That design philosophy remains in the latest Ruger pistols. Now in many variations and calibers from .22 to .45, Ruger pistols have been used by sportsmen, law enforcement, and government agencies worldwide for over 57 years.
 Rimfire: Rimfire rifles are either .17 or .22 caliber. They are relatively low-powered as their rim is crushed by the firing pin to set off the primer, necessitating a relatively soft brass case. They are economical, quick, accurate, and fun to shoot! Smallbore target shooting and small game hunting are their best uses. Ruger .22 Rimfire pistols are perfect for informal “plinking,” target shooting, and small game hunting. The newest Ruger rimfire pistol is the 22 Charger™, which pairs the classic Ruger 10/22® action and rotary magazine with an ergonomically designed pistol stock and an adjustable bipod. All Ruger rimfire pistols are chambered for the economical, quiet, accurate, and light-recoiling .22 LR cartridge. They come in a variety of finishes, barrel lengths, and sights.
 Centerfire: Centerfire cartridges range from the .204 Ruger to the most powerful magnums. They have a separate primer in the base of a strong, solid brass case. They are the cartridges used for hunting larger game. Ruger centerfire pistols are chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 Auto caliber cartridges. Ruger has recently begun offering pistol models from the Hard-R™ line of products, beginning first with the Ruger SR9™, Ruger's first striker-fired pistol. The latest addition to the Hard-R™ line is the LCP™, an ultra-light compact pistol chambered in .380 Auto. All Ruger centerfire pistols are rugged, reliable, and quite affordable. They incorporate the latest in design, materials, and features demanded by today's shooters.
