Sturm, Ruger & Co. Standard Model .22 LR semi-automatic pistol, 6" tapered barrel (RST-6 configuration, 10" overall). Serial prefix dates manufacture to 1976, which makes this a "Liberty" gun — every firearm Ruger shipped that year was rollmarked MADE IN THE 200th YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY. Photo included showing the stamp. Pre-Mark II, blued, fixed sights.

This is the original Bill Ruger design that built the company. Simple blowback action, famously reliable, and one of the best-shooting rimfire pistols ever made. The 6" barrel is the better of the two Standard configurations for accuracy and sight radius.

Condition: bluing is strong with honest edge wear at the muzzle and along the frame edges, some thinning near the ejection port. No rust, no pitting. Clean bore. Functions correctly.

Full disclosure: grips are aftermarket wood, not the factory checkered hard rubber panels. They look and feel good, but a purist will want to source correct grips. No original box or paperwork.

Includes:

  • Two original Ruger magazines
  • Bianchi leather OWB holster
