Ruger Hard-R

[milktree]

Have any of you heard of Ruger's "Hard-R" line? What does it mean? Anything more than marketing?

This is from The Internet, but I can't find it on Ruger's website: (It's copyrighted 2009, so maybe it's wicked old and I just never noticed)

Is this like the Brazilian Portugeuse Ruger?

So Ruger instead of Huger?

 

[Coyote33]

Wouldn't mind a P345 for a house or car gun, or at least to try it out for that.
Heard they are plenty accurate also, so maybe a good pin gun.

Probably means it is sh*t.

Those things are hot skinflint garbage.

ETA: an old P90 or whatever they called it then basically crushes it.

 

[Coyote33]

I swear someone at the range had one once, and it felt very natural and ergonomic to hold, which is nice for a .45.

I'm watching this thread with interest

Nope, still not getting it. Is "hard-R" a noun, a stand in word, or is it a dog-whistle something that racist f***s say to identify each other?

edit: Nevermind. Urban Dictionary saved me, but I feel dirtier for it.

This can't possibly be a deliberate campaign by Ruger, it's got to be sheer ignorance on their part.

I've got a P95...if it runs out of ammo it makes an excellent club!

Ruger team up with Viagra; new pistol line aimed at old men’s limp noodles?

Hard pass

I don't know or care what Hard-R means/is, but for some crazy reason I need to get one of these at some point:

Ruger® Super Redhawk® Standard Double-Action Revolver Model 5526

seems like Marketing 101. Take something old, rebrand it with a new hip slogan, generate buzz (like this post) and increase sales of underperforming merchandise.

 

[jamison55]

Pretty sure that just an old ad. AFIK, the SR series is discontinued. Replaced by the American series of pistols. I actually really liked the SR series. Great ergos and (at the time) way better factory triggers than M&P or Glock. In fact, I keep a full size SR45 in my bedside safe as my bump in the night gun. I like the upraised loaded chamber indicator as a tactile confirmation that there’s one in the pipe. Especially at night.

I like Ruger. Not sure why so many people pee on them. <shrug>

They are fugly

Bill ruger was a dick

But they run and have a lot of after market support

 

[Berkshire Guy]

I remember this. Hard R was just a short lived advertisement thing.

 

[hillman]

Ruger P-345 was one of the nicest pistols I've ever owned. Modern, accurate hammer fired polymer .45. Carried easily and little felt recoil. Never had a reliability issue with either of mine, and if I could get one now at a reasonable price I'd happily do it.

Pretty sad day when a Taurus looks better than a Ruger.

A buddy if mine had one omg what a pos. He let it go for 75 bucks just to dump it.

The Super Redhawk is one of, if not "the", ugliest revolvers on the market.

 

[DW357]

I had one as my first 44 mag revolver and eventually sold it as I just hated the looks.
Trigger cleaned up nice though and was accurate enough but idk wtf they were thinking with that design lol

Admittedly the market is the size of a shoebox.

 

[Rocky Mosasaurus]

The Ruger P89 still f***s and if they brought it back that would be fantastic.

 

[Broc]

Admittedly the market is the size of a shoebox.

There are a bunch of companies, but most look fairly similar ...

SW, Ruger, Taurus, Freedom Arms, DW, Magnum Research ... and a few others that manufacture revolvers.

The Ruger is one ugly gun.

How many y'all ma**h***s read it to yourselves in your head as HAHD AHH

Maybe you’re just supposed to stick it in your pants…
