Sturm, Ruger & Co, Inc was founded in 1949 by Alexander McCormick Sturm and William B. Ruger. During college, William designed and fabricated an experimental light machine gun. The military took notice and hired him as a gun designer for the U.S. Army Ordnance. Alexander, a friend of William, shared a strong interest in guns. They launched their company with a unique design for a .22 pistol. Alexander was an heir to the prominent McCormick family and he provided financing and also designed the company's eagle logo. Ruger is now the largest gun manufacturer in the United States.
