Ruger is a fairly diverse company. Some might picture their robust revolvers in a variety of calibers. Others may picture their affordable handgun lineups. Still, others might think of the slick and absolutely wonderful No. 1 rifle series, maybe their affordable AR series, or even something like the Mini 14. What I doubt many people picture is the Ruger MP9\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gatdaily.com\/tags\/submachine-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">submachine gun<\/a>. Yes, at one point, Ruger wanted to get into the SMG market and did so with one of its most famed designers.<\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-ruger-mp9-an-improved-uzi-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Ruger MP9 \u2013 An Improved Uzi\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n<h2>It was the mid-1990s. Short carbines hadn\u2019t wiped submachine guns off the international military and police table just yet. They were still a popular option for law enforcement and special operations use. Ruger decided to try to cash into that market and introduced the MP-9 into its catalogs in 1995.<\/h2>\n<h2>The design is a bit older than the 1990s and tracks by the 1980s. Israeli firearms designer Uziel Gal looked to improve his design. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gatdaily.com\/tags\/uzi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Uzi<\/a>\u00a0entered legendary status. Its compact design made it a favorite for various special operations forces, and it participated in numerous Israeli military campaigns. The United States Secret Service even accepted the weapon.<\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/gatdaily.com\/articles\/the-mp9-that-time-ruger-sold-a-submachine-gun\/\">RTWT<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MP9 \u2013 That Time Ruger Sold a Submachine Gun &nbsp; If I say\u00a0Ruger, what do you think?
