IF you were born after 1990, you might NOT understand this American classic pistol design. In 1949 renowned inventor, gun designer, self-taught engineer, and entrepreneur Bill Ruger wished to produce and market a new handgun; and acquired a World War II Japanese Nambu pistol from a returning US Marine. In his garage he created, he was impressed by its sleek traditional aesthetic and its slight resemblance to the classic nostalgia-evoking Luger pistol. However, his model was different. Very different. The Ruger Standard model was a groundbreaking design, lacking the slide found on conventional pistols, instead it sports a cylindrical bolt which cycles inside a tubular receiver in a manner more characteristic of a rimfire rifle. The bolt of the pistol features protruding “ears” at its rear which are grasped and pulled rearward to feed the initial round and cock the action. Introduced in 1950, the Ruger Mark I Target model featured adjustable target style trigger, a “Micro” adjustable rear sight, and a front sight blade undercut to reduce glare.
