The Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite is a lightweight, rimfire pistol that combines precision and ease of use. Its simple, one-button takedown feature allows for quick and easy field-stripping, enabling thorough cleaning from the chamber to the muzzle. The pistol's barrel-receiver assembly easily detaches from the grip frame without tools. The 22/45 Lite is equipped with a precision-molded polymer grip frame with a serrated front strap and checkered backstrap. The firearm boasts a lightweight, ventilated aluminum receiver and a tensioned stainless steel barrel with a 1/2"-28 thread pattern, which makes it compatible with various muzzle accessories, including the Ruger Silent-SR sound suppressor. The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers exceptional accuracy and durability, while the internal cylindrical bolt construction ensures consistent sight-to-barrel alignment. The ergonomic bolt stop, contoured ejection port, and easy-to-grasp bolt ears contribute to the pistol’s reliable operation. The Mark IV 22/45 Lite includes an adjustable rear sight and a factory-installed Picatinny rail. Additionally, the ambidextrous manual safety can be customized to a left-side-only configuration, and the push-button magazine release facilitates convenient reloading. The magazine disconnect feature adds an extra layer of safety by preventing discharge when the magazine is removed. The package includes two 10-round magazines. This firearm is an ideal choice for shooters of all levels.
