(NYSE: RGR) is proud to introduce a new line of full-size duty pistols. Designed with the latest U.S. Military standards in mind, the Ruger American Pistol\u2122 is built to perform in the harshest conditions. A true American innovation, this new pistol is a revolutionary platform for Ruger.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nThe 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ruger American Pistol is the most advanced semi-auto pistol we have ever produced,\u201d\u00a0noted Ruger CEO Mike Fifer.\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;Rugged, reliable, and a great value in the finest Ruger tradition, the Ruger American Pistol is ready for duty anywhere in the world.\u00a0\u00a0 Our customers deserve the opportunity to ensure their security with such a well-engineered pistol from an American company they can trust &#8211; Ruger,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/ruger-american-pistols\/36322\/\">Watch and read the review of Ruger American Pistol on DRTV.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>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.
