Smoke wagon!!! Wheelie!!
I had its predecessor, a stainless steel Security-Six. Great gun, very accurate.
When you say "Ruger" this is what I think of. The .22 semi-auto pistol they've been producing since 1949. They've sold millions of them. They have evolved over the years but are still pretty-much the same design as they always have been with some enhancements and improvements.
My Dad had one of these.

Ruger Standard: The Pistol That Built An Empire
A humble, yet forward-looking .22 LR pistol, the Ruger Standard became the unexpected cornerstone of one of America's largest gunmakers.

The parental units would send me out with one of these and a box of ammo when they wanted some alone time.When you say "Ruger" this is what I think of.

The grip angle looks strange, but it actually works well as a natural shooter. A friend has a target model and it is so easy to hit targets without thinking about the sights.
The Ruger .22 Standard semi-auto pistol was the first gun they ever produced and the entire company was built on it.
One of the most-famous and successful guns in the world.

Man, I could drain all of the cash just looking at .22 handguns. Need to stay out of this thread...

I have a Mark 4 with green dot optics. Great pistol. Just holding it, feels right.
What optic did you go with?
I'll get it out and take a picture. Need to do that anyway.

While we're on the topic of Ruger, I'm kinda partial to this Mark III Target pistol.
I think of the 10/22 too as a Ruger icon, but the "Standard" pistol is the main thing. Without it, there probably wouldn't have been any Rugers. It's the one that started it all for them. It was the first gun they ever made and started the company right after WWII. All the versions are called the "Standard". The Standard series consists of the original Standard, the Standard Mark I, Standard Mark II, Standard Mark III, and now the Standard Mark IV.
Sturm, Ruger & Co. has produced well over 4 million .22 semi-automatic pistols since 1949. Spanning the original Standard, Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, and current Mark IV series, these firearms comprise the single most sold line of .22 caliber rimfire handguns in history.
Because exact, day-by-day aggregate numbers across all modern variants are not publicly separated by the company, the best snapshot comes from official Ruger and firearms industry milestones:
- The 1-Million Milestone: The company produced its 1-millionth Standard model in 1979, just 30 years after its debut.
- The 4-Million Milestone: Firearms historians and journals confirm that Ruger has surpassed the 4 million mark for this specific family of .22 pistols.
- Current Production: Hundreds of thousands more have been manufactured since, as the current Ruger Mark IV line is continually produced in large quantities across their modern facilities in North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Arizona.
