It is a day to celebrate all things Ruger. I can get on board with this as I have many Rugers in my armory ranging from Security-Six revolvers to an older model Ruger Red Label shotgun. Their common stock hasn&#8217;t done too poorly for me either over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year is a little special as it coincides with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/micros\/ruger75Anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruger&#8217;s 75th Anniversary<\/a><\/strong>. Bill Ruger partnered with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alexander_McCormick_Sturm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexander McCormick Sturm<\/a><\/strong> to found Sturm, Ruger, and Company in 1949. As most know, their first product was the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ruger_Standard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruger Standard<\/a><\/strong> semi-auto pistol in .22LR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-1024x311.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-1024x311.png 1024w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-768x233.png 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-640x194.png 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-940x285.png 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-1320x401.png 1320w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While today is the day to celebrate Ruger, there are many events going on all week long. You can find a list of the participating retailers <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/dataProcess\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>. Depending upon the retailer, there will be sales as well as Ruger swag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the best way to celebrate the day and the week is to introduce a non-shooter to shooting using a 10\/22 carbine. It is light, easy to handle, and, like all .22s, has virtually no recoil.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrated every year since 2017, October 22nd &#8211; 10\/22 &#8211; has become National Ruger Day.
