Ruger will stop four revolver lines at once, including some from 1958, and will complete other models through 2026. Tuesday's announcement cited demand, shifting tastes, production complexity, and profit so the company can focus on current favorites and modernize.

Continuing rifles are the Mini-14, 10/22, American series, and Kentucky-made Harrier ARs; remaining pistols include the LCP series, Security 380 and 9, RXM, MAX-9, 57, 22 Charger, and Mark IV.

The revolver lineup contracts to Wrangler rimfires, the Red Label III shotgun remains after a 2026 award win, and Ruger exits 1911s after 15 years along with single-action centerfire revolvers offered since 1955. Discontinued families might return in updated form later, though no plans or dates exist.
