Here's an article about Ruger's auto pistols from over 50 years ago. Some neat info and pics.

It is a great write-up. And pictures of the prototype is VERY cool!

It almost looks like it's from a NRA publication. But I wasn't sure.

Pretty sure I've seen that writeup. What magazine was that???
That #0033 auto is neat. Hard telling where it is at now, but 0033 would have been one of the earliest commercially shipped guns since I believe the first commercially shipped was 0026.

It's from the April, 1969 Shooting Times.

I was told. There was a delay in production.

They had a beautiful working example, until someone took it apart. It took several months to get it back together.
