Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. garnered a 2008 Academy of Excellence Award for its Ruger LCP pistol. The gun was named the Academy of Excellence Handgun of the Year for 2008 and Ruger was recognized as Manufacturer of the Year by Shooting Industry magazine.
Sturm, Ruger CEO Michael Fifer said, “The LCP is a departure for Ruger and it is the result of our Voice of the Customer program. We have been listening to what our customers are telling us and are working to bring the products they are asking for to the marketplace. The LCP went from concept to delivery in eight months.”
