RUGER 22/45

Overview

Includes 1 Mag. No Box.The Ruger 22/45 in .22 LR is a lightweight, affordable, and highly popular semi-automatic rimfire pistol that mirrors the grip angle and controls of the classic 1911, featuring a 5-inch barrel (or close variants like 4.4-5.5 inches depending on the exact model) and a standard 10-round magazine capacity for fun, low-cost plinking, training, or small-game use. Part of the iconic Ruger Mark series (evolving from Mark III to the current Mark IV lineup), it boasts a polymer grip frame with checkered 1911-style panels for excellent ergonomics and a familiar feel, an aluminum receiver (especially on Lite models for reduced weight around 25-32 ounces unloaded), adjustable target sights, and a simple one-button takedown system on Mark IV versions for easy cleaning and maintenance. Key highlights include a crisp single-action trigger, reliable blowback operation, and options for threaded barrels (common on Tactical/Lite variants) to accept suppressors or compensators, making it exceptionally quiet and enjoyable with subsonic ammo. This pistol excels as an entry-level or backup rimfire trainer that bridges the gap between .22 plinkers and centerfire handguns, offering superb accuracy, minimal recoil, cheap ammunition costs, and Ruger's legendary durability in a package that's perfect for range days, new shooters, or anyone wanting endless trigger time without breaking the bank.
