Izard Nobel LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Sturm Ruger & Company, Inc.

WEST HARTFORD, CT--(Marketwire - August 13, 2009) - The law firm of Izard Nobel LLP, which
has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims of
securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has
been filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut on behalf of those who purchased the common stock of Sturm
Ruger & Company, Inc. ("Sturm Ruger" or the "Company") (NYSE: RGR) between
April 23, 2007 and October 29, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The Complaint charges that Sturm Ruger and certain of its officers and
directors violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false
statements about the Company's revenues and earnings. Specifically,
defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following: (i) that
the reductions in inventory balances by Sturm Ruger in the first and second
quarters of 2007 had reduced the Company's parts and components inventories
below efficient levels, preventing Sturm Ruger's manufacturing units from
meeting production and shipment schedules and resulting in the Company's
inability to sustain current or historical sales levels; (ii) that Sturm
Ruger's "backlog" of unfilled purchase orders was materially inflated
because of the Company's inability to meet current production and shipping
schedules due to inventory shortages; (iii) that orders received from the
Company's independent distributors were artificially boosted by the
Company's mandated change to firm and noncancellable purchase order
submissions and were not reflective of actual demand for the Company's
products; (iv) that Sturm Ruger's independent distributors were carrying
large quantities of the Company's unsold products, increasing the risk that
these distributors would reduce or curtail their future purchases; and (v)
that based on the above, defendants had no reasonable basis for their
positive statements concerning Sturm Ruger's current financial performance
and condition.

On October 24, 2007, the Company announced that its firearm sales for the
third quarter of 2007 fell 26%, resulting in a loss of $0.03 per share, and
that sales had declined due to inventory issues at its distributors. On
this news, Sturm Ruger's common stock fell $6.45 per share to close at
$10.65 per share.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than October 12, 2009,
request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead
plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in
directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery
is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a
lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect
the overall recovery for class members.
