Design and range performance

Bull barrel advantages

The bull barrel reduces muzzle flex and helps stabilize the pistol during follow-up shots. For target work, that thicker profile improves inherent accuracy and reduces perceived recoil, giving tighter groups at standard pistol distances. On the range, expect a steady sight picture and predictable shot-to-shot behavior.

Controls and ergonomics

The inclusion of a thumb safety offers positive control for users who train with manual safeties or prefer an extra layer of handling security. Ruger’s ergonomics are tuned for practical use—grip geometry and sight alignment are straightforward for shooters transitioning from other Semi Auto platforms.
