Somewhere I've read (sorry, as often with just skimming through the web, I can't find the source anymore) that suppressed Ruger .22lrs were used in Vietnam.
I was aware of the fact that the High Standard HDM was used by CIA operators (and maybe also tunnel rats?), but I never heard of the Ruger being used in Nam before. The fact that the Rugers were marketed under the product label "Standard" back then, maybe there's just been a confusion with said High Standard.
On the other hand, in the light of the fact that the Ruger was invented in the late 40ies / early 50ies and quite successful in civilian markets that doesn't seem to be completely unlikely - any further insights?
