Every Ruger firearm ever produced features a unique serial number stamped into the gunmetal that includes information about the date the firearm was manufactured. Unfortunately, Ruger does not ship a comprehensive manual on how to read those production dates with their products. This can lead to confusion if you come into possession of a Ruger firearm and wish to know the date of its production. Fortunately, Ruger makes an online tool available to Ruger owners to help read Ruger serial numbers and determine the weapon's date of manufacture.
Ruger's great newly-redesigned web site has the answer. Click Here for Ruger's 'Caliber and Serial Number History' Page! Running a close second in popularity to 'When was my Ruger made?' Hello Ruger Fans! New here but a life long Ruger Guy! What drove me here is a question about a Bearcat I bought years ago. It's in super 98%+ maybe 99%. Anyhow I'm trying to get a general clarification on my Serial Number 63532. Info I've found say it's a 1966? The Box and Docs say Super Bearcat. Sep 12, 2006 Check your Ruger's age here. Here is a link to Ruger, and you can check the age of your Ruger firearm. My Single Six was born in 1990, and my Super Blackhawk was born in 2001. Beginning Serial Number: Years of Production: 550- 550- 550- 550- 550- 550- 550- 550.
Access the Ruger website. The company's website link is provided below in the 'Resources' section of this article.
Position your cursor over the 'Customer Service' menu button at the top of the web page, then click on the 'Instruction Manuals and Product History' option in the drop-down menu.
Click the 'Show All' option next to the firearm type that corresponds to your Ruger. For example, if you are looking up a pistol's production date, select the 'Show All' link next to the 'Pistol' category.
Locate your specific firearm's model number in the drop-down list that appears and click on the appropriate link.
Match the serial number on your weapon to the serial number ranges that appear in the new pop-up window. This will tell you the year of manufacture for your Ruger firearm.
Tip
Firearm manufacturers usually etch the serial number on the top of the barrel near the bolt handle on a rifle or on the side of the frame on a pistol. Other often-used locations include the butt of the rifle, the side of the rifle receiver or on the back of the pistol grip beneath the hammer slot.
Warning
Always treat a firearm as if it were loaded. Make sure the safety is on at all times and never point it towards a person or any areas where people might be located.

Design and response[edit]
Introduced in late 2017 as an improved, full-sized version of the Ruger LCP II, the Security-9 features a light trigger pull, trigger safety, 'Secure Action' hammer-fired single action fire control system. The Secure Action combines the smooth trigger pull of the LCP with the short, crisp feel and positive reset of a single action. The Secure Action hammer provides strong ignition force yet allows for easier slide racking when compared with many striker-fired pistols. The Security-9 also features a dovetailed, high-visibility sight system with drift adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight, manual safety, a neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, a safe, easy takedown with no special tools or trigger pull and a rugged construction with blued, through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel, precision machined, hard coated aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails and high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame.[2] The Security-9 has been praised for its reliability and low price.[3]
