Ruger has long set the standard for reliable, affordable and accurate .22 LR handguns, beginning with the introduction of the Standard Pistol in 1949. Since then, the Standard Pistol has undergone a series of enhancements with the development of the Mark I, Mark II™, Mark III™ and now the Mark IV.™ The Mark IV™ maintains the classic look of the original but adds a simple, one-button takedown for quick and easy field stripping.  The popular Mark IV™ 22/45™ Lite now features a new anodized finish for 2018 – Green.  Additional features of the Lite model include a lightweight, ventilated, aerospace-grade aluminum receiver, and a comfortable, precision-molded polymer grip frame.

Features:

  • Simple, one-button takedown for quick and easy field-stripping and proper chamber to muzzle cleaning.
  • A recessed button in the back of the frame allows the upper receiver to tilt up and off of the grip frame without the use of tools.
  • Receiver is made of aerospace-grade aluminum and is ventilated, making the pistol extremely light.
  • Comfortable, precision-molded polymer grip frame with a serrated frontstrap and checkered backstrap.
  • Ergonomic bolt stop.
  • Checkered, 1911-style grip panels for a great appearance and comfortable, non-slip hold.
  • Internal cylindrical bolt construction ensures permanent sight to barrel alignment and higher accuracy potential than conventional moving slide designs.
  • Contoured ejection port and easy-to-grasp bolt ears allow for durable and reliable operation round after round.
  • Accurate sighting system features an adjustable rear sight and a factory-installed Picatinny rail for easy mounting of optics.
  • Ambidextrous manual safety positively locks the sear in the “SAFE” position when applied. Safety can be converted to left-side only with included washer.
  • Features a conveniently located push-button magazine release on the left side of the frame.
  • Magazine drops free on release for faster reloading.
  • Magazine disconnect prevents discharge when the magazine has been removed.
  • Also includes: two, 10-round magazines.
