Brief introduction of Luger pistol company
As we all know, Ruger 5.6mm automatic pistol is a world-famous gun, and this gun is also the development foundation of Ruger-Stourm Company. 1948, Ruger's friend M. storm invested 50,000 dollars and was willing to co-establish a company with him, so fame+money led to the establishment of Ruger-storm Company. The company is located at 75 Station Street, Southport, Connecticut, USA. With the help of Bill Ruger's fame, storm's products have been selling like hot cakes, and the first batch of 100 Ruger automatic pistols were sold out on the same day. 1953 launched the Luger single-acting six-bore gun, which is similar in appearance to the Colt single-acting revolver and has a good sales volume.

Ruger MK Ⅱ pistol and 50th anniversary Ruger pistol (right), the latter was launched on 1999.

There is also a Luger pistol with the words "HECHO EN MEXICO" engraved on the right side of the case, just below the instrument. This is an extremely precious Luger pistol, produced in the 1950 s and supplied to Mexico.

In addition to the above pistols, Ruger-Stourm also produces submachine guns, rifles and machine guns. At present, the company mainly produces sports guns and shotguns. Since its establishment 55 years ago, the company has produced 20 million guns, which is a large company with an annual output of 6,543,800 guns.

Bill Ruger used to say: "It is our duty to defend the freedom (the right to bear guns) guaranteed by Article 2 of the Constitution." On 1996, he set up a youth education fund in NRA, and generously donated1000000 dollars to the NRA's weapons museum on 1998, thus supporting the war of "defending freedom" with his own practical actions. 1908, the Germans began to use the Luger pistol made by Mao Se company, so this pistol was called Luger 08 pistol. Since then, this pistol has become a famous pistol in the world. After 1945, the production of this pistol stopped and the army was no longer equipped. Now it's only for the police. Because of its high popularity, it is still the target of pistol collectors all over the world.

HugoBorchardt designed the first practical semi-automatic pistol C93 in 1893, but it was too big to be used by the military. GeorgeLuger, who works in LudwigLoeweandCo, improved C93 and finalized it in 1898. 1900 was adopted by Switzerland as a standard pistol, which is the first standard military semi-automatic pistol in the world, with a caliber of 7.65x23mm, or 30Luger.

Ruger continues to make progress. 1904, the new Luger pistol, including the new 9x 19mm bullet, was adopted by the German navy, and was later adopted by the army in 1908, named Parabellum08. It served until the end of World War II.

Besides winning the position of the first military semi-automatic pistol in history, the biggest feature of Ruger pistol is its toggle locking machine. Xia Bo refers to the operating principle of Maxim heavy machine gun and Winchester Gong rifle used by Ruger. The principle of elbow joint is similar to that of human elbow. When it is straight, it can resist strong force, and once it is bent, it is easy to continue to shrink.

Ruger not only designed a practical pistol, but also designed two kinds of bullets for it, among which 9x 19mm is the most successful and widely used pistol bullet in history, and it is still in the ascendant in 2 1 century.

Ruger moved all the working parts into the grip, shortening Portia's design by nearly half.

The toggle bolt is in the open position.

Close-up bolt, the left part includes the striker. Bill Ruger was influenced by his father since childhood and loved guns and shooting. After graduating from the University of North Carolina, he worked in Savage Company and Colt Company successively. 1939 worked in Springfield Arsenal for gun design, and then worked in Remington Company and Smith-Wei Sen Company. 194 1 joined the US Ordnance Department. The February edition of American Rifleman (1943 12) published in World War II reported that he transformed Savage's M99 lever rifle into an air-breathing semi-automatic rifle, which was the first time that Mr. Bill Ruger's name appeared in the media. As Bill Ruger is a German immigrant, his works clearly reveal the German style.
