In the beginning of Ruger Arms, it all started in the garage of William B. Ruger, while attempting to copy a captured Nambu pistol, acquired during Ruger’s time in the Pacific theater. During the development of the Ruger pistol, a few minor changes made these pistols the famous Ruger Mark handguns chambered in 22 long rifle. From the 1949 rented machine shop in Southport, Connecticut to 1969 when Ruger stocks became available to the public.
Ruger firearms went from another obscure name to most popular firearms in the USA. Ruger firearms are well known for their rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and pistols. Remarkably the Ruger Arms made it from an experiment to top selling firearms in the USA. When Ruger Arms were on top of the world in the 1970s and 1980s William B. Ruger made probably his most controversial move, proposing an “Assault Weapons Ban," in what has come to be known as “The Ruger Letter", William B. Ruger became isolated and criticized by second amendment enthusiast and the company saw a series of boycotts.
After William B. Ruger’s death in 2002 many of the firearms enthusiast returned to the Ruger firearms, seeing the figurehead of the firearms restriction was no longer in power. Despite the fact Ruger Arms still produces only “Post Banned Items" despite the ban’s eclipse firearms enthusiast have the option of high capacity magazines from a wide range of other companies. Despite Ruger firearms gray area stance on firearms, it goes without dispute that Ruger firearms are still the most popular firearms in the USA.
Cosmetically Ruger pistols are comfortable to the hand, built durably, and accurate. Ruger handguns are also over built for rounds like 9mm +P+, in fact Ruger firearms can not only handle the extra pressure, they out preformed many of the most famous brands in a head to head challenge. Aside from being accurate and durable, the price tag is almost half of what most would consider an entry level pistol, Ruger pistols has found their way to even the best shooters in the world, for instance Massad Ayoob.
Even for old west style shooters Ruger has got you covered. The Ruger revolvers all hold true to the quality you have come to expect, as well as the affordability that Ruger Arms has been known for. With a wide range of Ruger revolvers from the “Old Army" black powder revolvers, to the 45 long colt Ruger revolvers, there is a Ruger firearm for all shooters.
In fact some of my first memories of shooting, was an old Ruger 10/22 rifle that my father would take me to plink with, which I still shoot to this day. With the wide range of Ruger firearms I had to opportunity to shoot I can’t say anything bad about any of the experiences I’ve had with any of the fine Ruger produced firearms. Despite my disagreement with “The Ruger Letters", I would still recommend any of these fine Ruger firearms to a friend or customer. I look forward to seeing what the future hold for Sturm Ruger Arms.

Ensuring that Portfolio Management Coincides with Process Management
A word to the wise for organizations intent on adopting a product portfolio management system that does not also support your innovation process: it won't work!
Effective product portfolio management requires good quality technical and business data that can be gathered and analyzed on a regular basis to support smart innovation investment decisions. Unfortunately, most organizations lack a dependable, systematic way of gathering and accessing the information necessary to make informed judgments about proposed new products.
The best way to support effective decision-making is to implement a rigorous innovation process and an automation solution that will make that process easy-to-use. A viable, technology-enabled innovation process blends process and portfolio management capabilities that make data-entry intuitive.
With the right system in place, documents, product roadmaps, and other project information needed for gate meetings and other decision-making forums can be completed in minutes. This represents practical value to end-users who, because the system makes their lives easier, are inclined to use it. Adoption rates are higher, and there is a corresponding increase in the quality of data in the system.
If everyone in your company is vested in the process, innovation will no longer be a corporate buzz-word. It will be the way you do business.
