Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Standard, introduced in 1949, is the pistol that launched Sturm, Ruger & Co. and established the company as a household name in American firearms. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Standard was designed by William B. Ruger as an affordable, reliable, and accurate rimfire pistol for recreational shooting and small-game hunting. Its design was heavily inspired by the Japanese Nambu Type 14 pistol, but it incorporated simplified manufacturing techniques such as investment casting, which allowed Ruger to produce a quality firearm at a lower cost. The pistol featured a 4.75-inch tapered barrel, fixed iron sights, and a ten-round magazine, making it practical and versatile for a wide range of shooters. The Luger-like grip angle provided natural pointing, and the simple blowback action made it reliable and easy to maintain. Almost overnight, the Ruger Standard became a favorite among American shooters and helped create a market for affordable target pistols. Beyond its function as a dependable .22 pistol, the Ruger Standard holds significant historical importance as the foundation of Ruger’s success. It was followed by numerous iterations, including the Mark I, II, III, and IV series, which continued to refine the original design while maintaining the same basic principles that made the Standard a success. Collectors today prize early Ruger Standard models, particularly first-year production pistols with the "Red Eagle" medallion grips, which were produced before the death of co-founder Alexander Sturm in 1951. These early variants are highly sought after due to their historical connection and limited numbers. As both a practical shooter and a collector’s piece, the Ruger Standard stands as a landmark in American firearms history, combining affordability, ingenuity, and performance in a way that set the stage for Ruger’s dominance in the rimfire pistol market for decades to come.
