The Mark IV 22/45 Lite combines a lightweight, precision-molded, polymer grip frame with an aircraft grade aluminum upper receiver. The receiver features an attractive anodized bronze color and pattern-drilled vents for a custom pistol look without the custom price. Chambered in the popular .22 LR, the Mark IV 22/45 Lite is fun to shoot, accurate and reliable. Weighing only 25 oz., the Mark IV 22/45 Lite is the ideal lightweight rimfire pistol.

The Mark IV 22/45 Lite's CNC-machined aluminum receiver houses a 4.4-inch stainless steel barrel, held in place by a tension nut to ensure accuracy. The Mark IV 22/45 Lite also features adjustable target sights, an installed Picatinny rail for easy mounting of optics and a factory-threaded 1/2"-28 muzzle to accept popular muzzle accessories. The comfortable, precision-molded polymer grip frame incorporates replaceable Hogue® black rubber grip panels that allow shooters to customize the look of the pistol. The Mark IV 22/45 Lite is the perfect outdoor companion and can be used for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting or competitive shooting.

(5 out of 5) Don't go by the picture
by from Boone, North Carolina on

I just received this pistol, and my initial impression is very favorable though my only shooting experience with it so far was limited to sighting in a new TruGlo red dot optic at the small firing range of my FFL. However, note that the color of the Ruger Mark IV LITE that I received is nothing like the picture on this company's or any other company's, including Ruger's web site. I expected it to have the copper appearance of a new penny. It is on the other hand so dark, that the anodized aluminum barrel housing appears to be almost purple.
