Ruger 22/45 Lite

[Titanium Man]

Here's a new one from Ruger

Ruger 22/45 Lite™ Rimfire Pistol Models

Don't know if I'm a fan of this model or not.

It's a Ruger though.............speaks for itself.

I like it! Mark III is on my Christmas list this year so this gives me a little bit to think about... perfect. The question is will these be readily available by then?

Would have been better with a matching gold trigger tho

Here is a nice review and range report.... looks pretty solid

I would like it much more if other colors were available, not feeling the gold.

But its pretty awesome otherwise, if it comes in silver, black, red, or blue Id be all for it if the price is reasonable.

WTF is the purpose of the slide serrations? Just for looks?

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Mk II or III 22/45 + TacSol Paclite barrel = 100% better looking!

That thing's just as ugly as their SR22!

-J-

I love my Ruger and have no regrets.

While I have always had excellent results with my Rugers... I am definitely not liking the gold coloring. Maybe if they come up with some other options in the future.

Ya know, the more I look at it, I don't know whether that's gold, or a bad tint from the lighting when they took the picture.........?

chromated aluminum is the gold color

Make it in fuscia

Ruger's website lists the finish as "Gold Anodize," so it would seem to be an intentional color choice.

Nice. I like my 22/45 MKIII, but this one is a better looking one!

If the frame was more appealing to go with the furturistic look of the barrel I suppose I might dig it. As it is now it's not doing anything for me. Just a traditionalist i guess.

+1 to updating the frame to look a little more futuristic as well....

Hmm.......right out of Gold Finger

or...............the Man with the Golden Gun.........

It looks pretty cool, I would like to see one in person. If the price was right I would probably get one. I am still partial to the looks of the RP model, I really want one of those.

sounds like it's gold

According to the spec sheet the finish is Gold Anodize. Gold wouldn't be my first choice either. I will always pick stainless over a gold or colored finish if I have the choice.

22.8 oz from the factory, pretty sweet. Wish the barrel was a little longer.

We will have one at our silencer demo just north of Kokomo on Saturday if you want to check it out.
