Sturm, Ruger has introduced four new products to kick off the summer. They are the SR1911® Officer-Style in .45 Auto; the Security-9® with Viridian® E-Series™ Red Laser; a 10/22® Target Lite with Red and Black Laminate Stock; and the Ruger 77/17® in .17 WSM with Green Mountain Laminate Stock.
The new SR1911 Officer-Style pistol chambered in .45 Auto features a shorter, 3.60″ barrel and shortened grip frame that makes for an ideal concealment pistol. Compared to the SR1911 Lightweight Officer-Style, the steel frame on this new model retains additional weight for better balance, lower recoil and greater durability. It features drift-adjustable Novak® sights. MSRP if $979. Not approved for sale in California or Massachusetts.
The reliable and affordable Security-9 is now available paired with a factory-installed Viridian E-Series red (635-650 nm) laser. The adjustable laser module weighs just over ½ ounce with the installed long-lasting battery and comes securely mounted to the pistol. The laser also features ambidextrous push-button activation. This low-cost option is ideal for increasing accuracy in low light conditions. It also has drift-adjustable sights. MSRP is $439. No approved for sale in California or Massachusetts.
The new 10/22 Target Lite is a top of the line offering with a 16.13-inch barrel from Ruger. Featuring the BX-Trigger™ with a light, crisp 2.5-3 pound trigger pull weight and a cold hammer-forged barrel tensioned in an aluminum alloy barrel sleeve, this new configuration is paired with a distinctive red and black laminate thumbhole stock, and should appeal to shooters looking for performance, reliability and style. Ten-round rotary magazine included. No sights are provided so it’s ready for mounting a rifle scope or red dot sight. MSRP is $649.
Following on the heels of the successful reintroduction of the 77-Series bolt-action rifles, Ruger now offers the Ruger 77/17 chambered in .17 WSM with an 18.50″ stainless steel barrel and Green Mountain laminate stock. Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field (scope rings included).Flat-shooting and superbly accurate, this rifle also features an improved trigger pull over previous 77/17 WSM models. MSRP is $1069.
