Ruger Makes an AR Pistol

Ruger has finally gotten into the AR pistol market. They're about the last ones to do so. Well, except for Colt I guess.

Anyway, I have had decent luck with my Ruger AR-556. Granted about all that's left that's Ruger is the upper and lower. Maybe the buffer tube. And I wish Ruger would have done this with the SR-556 TD series. I think a takedown AR pistol with a barrel in 5.56 and another in 300 BLK would be a fun toy.

Are we supposed to be excited? An also ran manufacturer building what is surely an also ran AR pistol. I will call it bad if not fake news. Who GAS?

I believe it means Gives a Pooh.

There are so many choices out there at all price points that introducing a new AR pistol/rifle without some innovative feature isn't likely to garner a lot of enthusiasm from us internet commandos.

I kinda like it, considering that you will probably be able to buy this for $599 or less in the open market. Another nice option for the general gun buying public, even though it may not appeal to everyone.

This will result in all the fudds and neckbeards buying them and posting youtube videos of themselves acting like idiots in public until braces are banned.

Nah, Springfield already makes a Saint pistol and PSA has all kinds of pistols so that market share is pretty saturated already. Nothing new here.

Good point, but I would say a lot more people recognize Ruger as a brand and Ruger spends a lot more money on advertising.

Good article.

How long did it take them after the AWB sunset to produce the 25rd 10/22 mag? A decade?

“Not the same company” my ass.

Hard pass on both ethical and technical reasons.

Oh and while we’re at it - Troy sucks too.

Now way, most of that crowd already has 2 or 3 80% lowers they routered out and installed the cheapest parts available from that ongoing PSA sale, doobtube done learned 'em how with just a 2x4, pipe wrench and 16d nail.
