Overview
Built for rimfire practice and field use, this semi-automatic .22 LR pistol combines the Mark IV platform’s simple push-button takedown with a layout suited to routine cleaning and range sessions. The 4.4" threaded barrel, adjustable rear sight, fixed front sight, and included Weaver-style scope base adapters give it flexibility for target work and optic mounting, while the 10-round magazines keep it in a familiar training format. Its 22/45 grip angle is intended to emulate the 1911, making it a practical choice for shooters who want a .22 that supports skill-building without changing their manual of arms too much. Features such as the ambidextrous thumb safety, magazine disconnect, and drop-free magazine design round out a straightforward package for plinking, target shooting, or small game hunting.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 10+1 capacity is paired with two 10-round magazines, so practical use is still limited by magazine size rather than the pistol’s full chambered capacity.
- The 4.4" threaded barrel supports accessories, but using them adds setup decisions and may not suit a simple, streamlined field or range setup.
- The 22/45 grip angle is intended to emulate a 1911, which is useful for training but may not match every shooter’s preferred feel.
- The pistol includes adjustable rear sights and fixed front sights, so sighting is flexible but not fully configurable at both ends.
