Ruger 10/22

About the Ruger 10/22

The Ruger 10/22 is a revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle, produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. since 1964. This American-manufactured firearm reflects the engineering traditions and quality standards of its country of origin, designed to meet the demands of both civilian and professional users in a competitive global marketplace. The 10-round cylinder provides enhanced capacity for a revolver of this class, with the inherent reliability and simplicity that has kept the revolver platform relevant for over a century and a half. The striker-fired action provides a consistent trigger pull for every shot, simplifying training and reducing the manual of arms - a design philosophy that has become the dominant paradigm in modern defensive handguns. The 18.5-inch barrel maximizes accuracy potential and ballistic performance, making this an excellent choice for target shooting, competition, or field use. At 2268g (80.0 oz), this is a substantial firearm whose weight contributes to reduced felt recoil and enhanced stability during precision shooting. The aluminum alloy frame achieves a notable weight reduction compared to all-steel construction while maintaining the structural rigidity required for safe, reliable operation. This firearm represents its manufacturer's commitment to delivering a well-engineered, reliable product that serves the needs of discerning shooters seeking quality, accuracy, and dependable performance from a proven platform.

The Ruger 10/22 has one of the largest aftermarket ecosystems of any firearm ever made, with thousands of custom parts available from stocks to triggers to barrels. It is often called 'America's favorite rimfire rifle' and is typically the first firearm recommended for new shooters learning to handle a rifle.
