About the Gun

Ruger's first striker-fired pistol has a very slender profile and includes features such as a polymer frame with a Picatinny rail, a reversible backstrap (flat or arched) to accommodate grip preferences, an internal trigger bar interlock and striker blocker, trigger safety and magazine disconnect. The 'semi-double-action' trigger is more technically a single-action trigger, as it cannot cock the pistol on its own. In this aspect the trigger action is similar to the Glock, S&W M&P, and Springfield XD.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed as a joint venture between Winchester and Smith & Wesson. It was an effort to to create a cartridge with the same power as the 10mm Norma round that the FBI had just started using, but in a shorter case. The shorter cartridge would facilitate accuracy and allow use of a smaller, more comfortable grip frame. The .40 S&W has become the cartridge of choice for many law enforcement agencies in the United States.

Excellent shooting firearm. I have had no issues with any ammo. Feeds everything. Low felt recoil for quick follow up shots. And, you can not get much better than 15 rounds of .40 S&W.
