SAZETAK HRVATSKI PRIJEVOD:
„Ruger je jučer najavio promjene u nekoliko obitelji proizvoda trenutne generacije kao dio naše tekuće strategije Ruger 2030“, rekla je Abbey Clary, direktorica medija, oglašavanja i odnosa s javnošću tvrtke Ruger. „To ne znači nužno da se te obitelji proizvoda trajno ukidaju.“

S trenutnim efektom, Ruger prestaje s proizvodnjom svojih revolvera LCR, SP101, GP100 i Bearcat. Tvrtka planira dovršiti svoje posljednje proizvodne serije sljedećih modela za 2026. godinu: SR1911, LC Carbine, PC Charger, PC Carbine, LC Charger, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, revolveri Single-Series, Vaquero, No. 1, puške 77-Series, Hawkeye i Ruger Precision Rifle.

IZVORNI TEXT:

Ruger announced a major change to several of its longtime product lines this week, stating that it would immediately suspend production of several models while finishing out current production runs of other models through 2026.

"Ruger announced changes to several current-generation product families yesterday as part of our ongoing Ruger 2030 strategy," said Abbey Clary, Ruger's director of media, advertising and public relations. "This does not necessarily mean these product families are permanently discontinued."

Effective immediately, Ruger is ceasing production of its LCR, SP101, GP100 and Bearcat revolvers. The company plans to complete its final production runs of the following models for 2026: SR1911, LC Carbine, PC Charger, PC Carbine, LC Charger, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Single-Series revolvers, Vaquero, No. 1, 77-Series rifles, Hawkeye and Ruger Precision Rifle.

"We recognize how important these platforms are to Ruger’s heritage and to our customers," Clary said. "In many cases, we see opportunities to bring them forward through new designs, improved features and modern manufacturing methods. We expect some of these names and product families to return in new forms in the future, but do not have specific product plans or reintroduction timelines at this time."

With this shift, Ruger's handgun product lines continuing into 2027 will consist of the company's LCP offerings, RXM, MAX-9, Security-380, Security-9, Ruger 5.7, Mark IV and 22 Charger. In its revolver line, Ruger will continue making its affordable Wrangler and Super Wrangler models. For rifles, remaining Ruger offerings will consist of the company's American Rifle and American Rimfire line, as well as the Ruger Precision Rimfire, Harrier, 10/22 and Mini-14 models.

"These decisions reflect our review of consumer demand, evolving market preferences, manufacturing complexity and the long-term profitability of each product family," Clary said. "The goal is to focus our resources on the products consumers want most today while creating capacity for future product development and manufacturing modernization."

Negdje sam pročitao da se nije isplatilo održavati/servisirati te starije platforme pa sredstva preusmjeravaju na novije proizvode.

Obično kad se ovako nešto dogodi nekoliko godina poslije uvode stare serije u moderniziranom obliku za koje će onda imati odgovarajuće dijelove bez da moraju imati proizvodnju tzv. "legacy" proizvoda.

A da nije sranje, je. Ali srećom, takvih oružja će još dosta dugo biti u optjecaju.
