New Ruger Guide Gun

Mere days ahead of the 2013 SHOT Show, we get out first glimpse at the Ruger Guide Gun. Â The new series of rifles are rugged, compact rifles weighing between 8 to 8.12 pounds. The guns are chambered in serious calibers: Â .30-06, .300 Win Mag, .338 Win Mag, .375 Ruger, .300 RCM and .338 RCM. Â When the .30-06 is pretty much the starting point, you know you’ve got a major boom stick.

The gun has classic lines, but is an eye-catcher due to its combination of stainless steel finish and a Green Mountain laminate stock. Â The stock is supposed to be resistant to changes through various environmental changes. Â Sitting in a rack of guns at the local shop, every shooter will notice this gun. Â Love it or hate it, it will get noticed.

One of the most visually striking things about the new guide gun is the use of a radical-port muzzle brake. Â It is the single thing on the rifle that looks a little out of place. Â It looks a little “modern” for a gun with pretty classic styling. Â However, a good muzzle brake can really ratchet down felt recoil. Â Ask any .50 BMG shooter. Â But, muzzle brakes make shooting the gun much louder. Â Ask the guy next to the .50 BMG shooter.

Ruger SR1911 Commander

The much rumored Ruger SR1911 commander is now a reality after the company announced its introduction on its website. Â Ever since the introduction of the original SR1911, Ruger and 1911 fans have been asking for a commander-sized gun.

The new SR1911 commander is a traditional 1911-style pistol that is slightly shortened in general parameters of the original Colt commander 1911 pistols. Â The gun has a shorter barrel length (4.25″ instead of the full length 5″ barrel) and only holds seven, not eight, rounds in each magazine.

Ruger LC380

Welcome the Ruger LC380, a merging the popular LCP and LC9 platforms.

Ruger is introducing a new .380 ACP chambered pistol in the same form factor as the LC9 handgun. Â The key benefit is less recoil than the 9mm version of the gun.

Many of the specs are the same or similar to the LC9. Â Width is 0.9″ for both and the weight is only slightly heavier (17.2 ounces for the LC380 and 17.1 ounces for the LC9). Â Magazine capacity, seven rounds, is the same.

Ruger SR45

The Ruger SR45 is now a reality. Â Just days ahead of the 2013 SHOT Show, Sturm, Ruger & Co announced the big bore addition to the company’s popular “SR” series of handguns.

Chambered in .45 ACP, the new SR45 comes standard with 10-round magazines, giving the shooter a lot of firepower. Â Yet, Ruger claims the SR45 remains a relatively thin pistol like the SR9 and SR40. Â According to the specs, the SR45 is 1.27″ wide, which is just 0.07″ wider than a Smith & Wesson M&P. Â The grip width is not specifically mentioned for the SR45.
