The surprise from Ruger – the SR-556

It wasn’t exactly a Ruger 1911 as many guessed prior to the NRA show, but another option for the fan of the AR Platform. We had the first look at the SR-556 some months ago and we have been waiting for the official launch. We guessed it would come out at SHOT Show in January – it didn’t. Ruger decided to wait until May and now it is here. DRTV together with 3-Gun shooter Tom Hines (Tactical Solutions) had the chance to run a couple of 100 rounds through it at Ben Avery Shooting Range on Thursday and a video report will be available later in the upcoming week.

Here’s the video from the launch at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Phoenix:
