Ruger Auto Pistol .22LR w/Pics
Hello and Merry Christmas to everyone. A good friend of mine was gifted the following Ruger Auto Pistol by an aging WWII veteran for Christmas.
Price is not really a required since my friend now considers it his favorite firearm but if someone could give a ballpark it would be appreciated.
What I'm really looking for is the DOM, Possible Model and any other tidbits.
Thanks for any and all responses.
It has a Blue Finish(85% to close to 90%), 4.75" Barrel, Black Grips, Fixed Sights and a one Magazine.
Here is some ammo that was with the gun as well.

That is a sweet pistol and looks to be in top shape.
No doubt that it would quickly become a favorite shooter.
If you don't get an answer here about the DOM, contact Ruger Customer Service through their website, or call them.
Their cust. service is very good, and they will be able to get you the info on that pistol.

That's the original Ruger Standard. Bill's first marketed design. A fine pistol. I notice it has the black logo instead of red so I believe this one was made after the death of Alexander Sturm in 1951.
Enjoy!

It is a Ruger Mark I, manufactured in 1956. If you go to www.ruger.com under customer service, you can download the instruction model. The Blue Boomk of Gun Values puts it at $145-$175 but that is book value, it is probably worth a bit more on the open market.

Nice gun. It looks like someone along the line tried to drive out the trigger pin from both directions without success. Should you decide to take it apart, there's a retaining ring on the inside/left of the frame.
I have a '62 Standard that I restored from very poor condition. Very accurate, and fun to shoot!
My Best, Walt

Re: Ruger Auto Pistol .22LR w/Pics
Walt, that's a very nice looking Standard! Did you refinish it yourself or was it a 3rd party?
Either way it looks to be well done.
I'd have to agree that someone tried to remove the trigger housing retaining pin. I'm sure they didn't know what they were doing since the buggered it up really good. It's a shame too because the gun only has some light wear on a couple of high spots.
I'm hoping to shoot it one day this week. If I do I'll post a range update.
Regards,

Re: Ruger Auto Pistol .22LR w/Pics
I did the pistol myself. Polished it to white, and several applications of Brownell's Oxpho-Blue Creme. The stuff works much better than any other cold blue I've tried.
I did this '47 39A as well...
My Best, Walt
