Narrative by Bill Hamm Photography by Matt Olivier This year's annual fall Ruger Collectors Association's Display show was once again held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at Joe Wanenmacher's great Tulsa Arms 3,800 plus table show.This year the NRA held its National Gun Collectors Show at the Wanenmacher show, and the Ruger Collector's Displays were included in that venue.

Ruger, now the largest firearms manufacturer in America, has a storied history that began in 1946, when William Ruger and Alexander Sturm took out their first patents. In 1949, they created their first unique firearm, the Ruger Standard .22 pistol, which was reminiscent of the German Luger or perhaps the Japanese Nambu. Ironically, my first pistol was an RST-4, the model which rocketed their products in the view of the American shooting culture.

John Moses Browning was, arguably (but not REALLY arguably), the greatest firearms designer who ever lived. His brilliant mind conceived of more innovative firearms than any other: his designs for sporting arms are suitable for taking any game from squirrel to fowl to elephant, while his designs for military weapons range from sidearms to rifles to crew-served weapons to anti-aircraft machine guns.

Bear Hug Grips was Deacon Deason's one-man custom revolver grip company specializing in custom fit-to-your-hand fancy wood target revolver grips for Smith & Wesson, Ruger and Colt revolvers. When Deacon Deason passed away, his business torch was passed on to Tedd Adamovich who renamed it Blu Magnum Grips and continued the grip making until his death in 2021.

When Springfield Armory introduced the Echelon pistol in May of 2024, they combined their American design genius with Croatian craftsmanship to create what, to my mind, was the perfect modern striker-fired 9mm pistol. The ergonomics of the Echelon are second to none, and it is apparent that Springfield Armory took great pains to see that every aspect of the Echelon pistol is as user-friendly as possible.
