Uniquely American, Uniquely Ugly: Ruger's New Pistol
This video offers a critical review of the Ruger American Pistol (RAP), contrasting it with "committee pistols" and those born from a single vision. The reviewer finds the RAP to be bulky, thick, and aesthetically unappealing, despite acknowledging its reliability and accuracy. The description compares it unfavorably to a range of popular pistols like the Glock 17, XDM, Sig P320, M&P9, Walther PPQ, CZ P09, and Canik TP9, as well as its slimmer stablemate, the Ruger SR9. The reviewer predicts the RAP will fade into obscurity, similar to the Ruger Gunsite Scout. The video also features mentions of John Moses Browning and Gaston Glock.
