Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) proudly celebrates Team Ruger Captain Doug Koenig for capturing two national championship titles this season, a remarkable accomplishment that underscores his consistency, precision and leadership.

At the New Zealand Nationals in Hamilton, New Zealand, Koenig demonstrated his skill and discipline, taking first place with a perfect score of 1920 and an X-count of 179. His performance highlights the exceptional accuracy and steady handling of the Ruger Custom Shop SR1911®, a trusted pistol designed for peak performance in the competitive industry.

With his focus still sharp, Koenig went on to win another national championship title at the 12th NRA World Action Pistol Championship in Hamilton, New Zealand. He achieved another flawless score of 1920 with an X-count of 182. Remarkably, he was the only competitor in the field to shoot a perfect score, setting himself apart with a combination of focus, consistency and trust in his equipment.

Throughout both events, the competition-ready Ruger Custom Shop SR1911® once again demonstrated its reliability under pressure. The pistol’s precision, balance, and ergonomic control gave Koenig a clear competitive advantage.

Koenig stated, “The only way you can win at this level is to have great equipment! This sport is unforgiving; you can’t make any mistakes. My pistol must be 100% reliable and able to withstand tens of thousands of rounds without failure. That’s the confidence that I need to perform at the highest level.”

Ruger proudly acknowledges Doug Koenig’s dual victories as a testament to his dedication and performance. His achievements continue to reinforce Ruger’s commitment to providing competition-ready products that deliver unmatched precision, reliability and results at the highest level of competition.
