Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite: Precision Meets Practicality
The Mark IV 22/45 Lite represents Ruger's commitment to delivering a refined .22 LR pistol that serves equally well for target shooting, training, or casual plinking. This is a firearm built on proven principles, executed with attention to detail.
Design and Ergonomics
The 22/45 Lite employs a time-tested design philosophy: simplicity in operation, reliability in execution. The one-button takedown system allows you to separate the barrel-receiver assembly from the grip frame without tools—a feature that makes field-stripping and chamber-to-muzzle cleaning straightforward and efficient.
The grip frame is constructed from durable polymer and fitted with oversized G10 grips that provide positive control and reduce fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The ambidextrous manual safety can be converted to left-side operation with the included washer, accommodating both right and left-handed shooters.

Practical Features
