About Ruger American Pistol - 4.5"
The company known all over the world as the Ruger, with the official name of The Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is the leading producer of firearms in the whole United States. The Sturm, Ruger designs, produces and markets a full line of various models of pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, mainly for sporting purposes, however there is also several models available for the law enforcement and military use.
The Ruger American Pistol 4.5" is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic pistol introduced by Ruger in December 2015. The pistol uses a pre-tensioned striker firing system, and is chambered in 9mm Luger and .45 ACP. The pistol uses a locked-breech short recoil action, with a barrel cam system that is designed to reduce felt recoil. The serialized part of the pistol is a steel chassis, which is fit to a glass-filled nylon frame. The frame of the Ruger American 45 incorporates a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories. In September 2016, Ruger announced versions of the pistol, again chambered in 9mm Luger and .45 ACP.
