Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Ruger 10mm 1911 Target Model?

The Ruger 10mm 1911 Target Model features a 5-inch all-steel construction, a bull barrel, and a full-length guide rod. It also includes a fully adjustable Bo-Mar style rear sight, contributing to its smooth shooting characteristics and accuracy.

How can gun trusts be used for firearm inheritance?

Gun trusts can facilitate firearm inheritance by allowing you to name trustees to manage the firearms. This can help avoid probate and ensure a smoother transfer of ownership to beneficiaries after your passing, as the trust, not you personally, owns the firearms.

What is the status of potential CMP surplus 1911 pistol sales?

There is ongoing legislative effort to allow the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to sell surplus 1911 A1 pistols. While the CMP currently sells surplus rifles, the sale of handguns was previously restricted, and a bill has been introduced to enable this transfer.

What is the Ruger Mark IV recall process?

Ruger offers a free recall service for affected Mark IV pistols. Owners receive a prepaid shipping box to send their firearm's frame for retrofitting, typically completed and returned within a week, often including a complimentary magazine.

Is 10mm ammunition suitable for bear protection?

Yes, 10mm ammunition, especially with heavy hard-cast loads (200-220 grains at 1200-1250 fps), is considered effective for self-defense against large game like bears and hogs when carrying in the wilderness.
