The Ruger Standard Model is a rimfire semi-automatic pistol introduced in 1949 as the first product manufactured by Sturm, Ruger and Co. It founded a product line of .22 Long Rifle pistols that continued through the Mark II, Mark III and Mark IV models. Marketed as an inexpensive .22 caliber pistol for casual sport shooting, target shooting and plinking, and designed by company founder William B. Ruger, the Standard model and its successors are the best selling .22 caliber semi-automatic pistols ever produced.
