On Nov 14, 2025, Jim Shepard posted an article on The Outdoor Wire discussing recent information learned last month, regarding Beretta Holdings and Sturm, Ruger. It turns out, Beretta Holdings has a significant stock position in Sturm, Ruger and Company (Ruger). Click the link below the quote below to read the entire article:
Shortly before NASGW last month, the industry was surprised when Beretta Holdings revealed a significant stock position in Sturm, Ruger (NYSE: RGR).
Ruger, rebuffed in attempts to determine just what Beretta Holdings was either after or wanting, enacted a Shareholder Protection plan. On Wall Street, those are best known as “poison pills” – measures designed to dilute a potentially hostile shareholder’s percentage of ownership while simultaneously raising the costs of taking additional equity positions.
Despite attempts to speak with Beretta Holdings, Ruger’s new investor had absolutely nothing to say beyond the requisite SEC filings. Those filings, however, offered small hints at what Beretta Holdings might have in mind. According to that filing, Beretta Holdings said they saw potential areas for mutual cooperation, collaboration and benefit.
Earlier this week, I learned the companies already have one collaborative agreement in place- and it was there long before the stock acquisition. Beretta Hellas, the distribution arm of Beretta for Greece, the Balkan regions and Cyprus, has been Ruger’s distributor for that region since 2023. The first Ruger products were shipped there in 2025 and some have been sold to customers. – Jim Shepard
