Designed with the latest U.S. Military standards in mind, the Ruger American Pistol with Manual Safety is built to perform in the harshest conditions. A true American innovation, this pistol was developed through a rigorous “Voice of the Customer” process – where numerous law enforcement and military trainers, firearms experts, distributors and retailers provided input, feedback and testing in the determination of the form, function and features of this firearm. The resultant new pistol is a revolutionary platform for Ruger, one that utilizes the combination of a recoil-reducing barrel cam (which is designed to better spread recoil energy over time) with a low mass slide, low center of gravity and a low bore axis to provide an unparalleled shooting experience.

Firearm Features

  • Trigger features a short takeup with positive reset.
  • Recoil-reducing barrel cam, low-mass slide, low center of gravity and low bore axis.
  • Performance tested for sustained +P ammunition use.
  • Genuine Novak LoMount Carry three-dot sights.
  • Modular wrap-around grip system for adjusting palm swell and trigger reach.
  • Safe, easy takedown with no tools or trigger pull required.
  • Ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release allow actuation with either hand.
  • Safety features include internal, automatic sear block system, ambidextrous manual safety, integrated trigger safety and no trigger pull required for takedown.
  • Also includes - Two nickel-Teflon® plated steel magazines; medium and large grip modules.
  • Pre-tensioned striker system features a powerful striker spring for positive ignition without a heavier trigger pull.
  • Non-slip surfaces including functional slide serrations and purpose-oriented grip frame texturing for enhanced control.
  • MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail acts as a mounting point for a wide variety of standard lights, lasers and infra-red illuminators.
  • Visual inspection port allows for visual confirmation of a loaded or empty chamber.

(5 out of 5) I Love You Guys
by Tyron from Jacksonville, Texas on March 30, 2017

I'm very satisfied.

(5 out of 5) I love it
by Tyron Boyd from Jacksonville, Texas on July 29, 2017

I absolutely love it. Only problem is I use too many bullets. I take this baby out 3 times a week. Ruger, y'all got it going on.

(5 out of 5) Outstanding pistol
by Barry from Godley, TX on September 19, 2017

I've shot about 600 rounds of various brands with no problems. I've had this thing covered in dust and mud, and it still never misses a beat. Sights are right on for me and the trigger is just right, as far as I'm concerned. Sportsmans Outdoor price makes this one a no brainer.
