Hello everyone,
Gun is one of the devices used for self-defense, with high damage. For self-defense, pistols are often people's choice because of its compactness and convenience. I found the Ruger and Luger to be the most bought. I do not know how the two guns are different but have such competition?
Thanks everyone.

Family name similarity is coincidence. The two are not related, aside from both being involved in the firearms industry.

Georg Luger, Austria, 1849-1923
Invented the parabellum pistol and the ammunition cartridge that the pistol uses. Influenced the design of ammunition used in auto loading pistols.

Bill Ruger, USA, 1916-2002
Firearms designer, manufacturer. Co-founder of the Sturm Ruger firearms company, known for making good quality, affordably priced firearms.

I wouldn't bother with a Luger. The action is a modification of the Schwarzlose automatic weapon. Same toggle locking. For its time it was fine but that was over 100 years ago.

Modern firearms use the Browning locking principle. In the Ruger it's mostly the Hi Power locking system.
