In 1949 when there were plenty of $50 original 9mm lugers around, but not much inexpensive 9mm ammo, Bill Ruger decided to make a 22LR design that was economic to build but still felt like a luger to shoot. You can still purchase one of his Ruger standards (Mk1) for around $250. Too bad that he didn't later add a 9mm Toggle top. TH
