If you’ve ever desired a Ruger 22LR pistol but found it cumbersome to disassemble for cleaning, consider the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite. It combines trusted quality and reliability in a distinctive package. The Ruger Mark I, introduced in 1949 and partially inspired by the Japanese Nambu pistol from World War II, was Bill Ruger’s vision. He aimed to innovate with a tubular receiver, eliminating the need for a slide, and incorporating a bolt and blowback operation.
Since its inception, the Ruger Mark series has sold millions, including the Mark II, Mark III, and the latest iteration, the Mark IV. Ruger has enhanced their classic series with the Mark IV’s introduction. The new Mark IV series of pistols uniquely features a simple, one-button takedown for quick and easy field-stripping and thorough chamber-to-muzzle cleaning. The button, recessed in the back of the frame, allows the upper receiver to tilt up and off the grip frame without any tools. This addition significantly simplifies the disassembly process compared to previous models.
This model features a diamond gray anodized finish with a black polymer frame and grip. The Mark IV 22/45 Lite comes with adjustable iron sights with the inclusion of a top mounted picatinny rail for mounting a wide variety of optics. For those who are interested in acquiring a target pistol for plinking and having fun at the range should check out the Ruger Mark IV series.
