Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite Review - Shooting Times

Nothing is more fun than shooting a cool, accurate .22 LR semiautomatic pistol, and Davidson's exclusive Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite is definitely that.

www.shootingtimes.com

This person seems to be getting 7.5 MOA groups (1.87 in @ 25 yd) out of the Mark IV 22/45 Lite.

Of course, THIS person got much worse:

- 21 MOA groups (5 inch @ 70 ft). That's kinda what I am afraid of...

This guy is either not a good shot or the ammo was sh*t or a combination of both + heavy triggers.

I absolutely love my Supermatic Citation. The trigger breaks like a tiny icicle in the dead of winter. With CCI standard velocity it is as accurate as I could hold it.

Good luck in your quest but remember, it is the Indian, not the arrow that matters in the end.

This is the .22 build I have.

another vote for a 1911 conversion, but from Advantage Arms. I put their 'target' upper on my Sig 1911, and it's dead nuts reliable and almost as accurate. I don't compete. It's more accurate than I am.

I made Pistoleer at Appleseed, when I borrowed someone's S&W Model 41 during a single round. If I had the money to blow...

+1 on Model 41.
Easy to shoot well and similar to the 1911 handle angle-wise. Trigger pull can be easily adjusted. Don't waste your money on the "Performance Center" version.
Ruger needs aftermarket work to shoot well, Model 41 does well right out of the box.

Here is a used one, looks like a good price.

I don't know this seller or the gun.

Love my 41, shoots great. Went to a Marvel and now a Nelson. If you can get a used 41 at a decent price jump on it.

 

[Smoothride]

1911 with a Nelson conversion.... CCI sv. I shoot 256... can do up to 270 on occasion... the issue is me, not the firearm.

I might be able to do a group buy on these. Pm me if interested, if enough interest I will post a GB.

Both the standard and target ones.

Talk to the precision pistol team at your club, or join a club that has one. Most of us have multiple pistols and might let you fondle a gun or two, maybe shoot a match with one to see how you like it. I keep a few entry level pistols for that very reason.
If nothing else, you'll be able to determine what guns are fussy and what just runs.

Welcome to the dark side...

 

[MisterHappy]

If you're on a Club team, ask them. Who knows? Someone may have something nice to pass along.

Fuuuuuuu*k dude. I told @Spartan65 I wouldn't buy any guns for 6-8 months.

But this is not a gun ... so I am a very possible IN. I need to do some research.

In a similar position... so, depending on price?

 

[Spartan65]

You guys should each by two.

This is assachusetts, buy what you can while you can.

 

[Retired-LEO]

Both of my Ruger MKIV's are extremely accurate and worthy of competition.

The Competition model is slightly more accurate than the 22/45 LITE.

What is your budget??

 

[Retired-LEO]

Ah, good to know.

BTW, how does the SW22 (on the "formal target shooting" roster) compare to the SW41 (on the general one)?

And yes, I am aware that if I am lucky, I may just find a store. I mean, _I_ wouldn't be possibly breaking the law there anyway...

I just thought this isn't a question one can ask in a store. Like, is asking for a gun that's not on the roster "just as bad" as "mentioning the gun's for someone else"? Or is worst that can happen them saying "sorry no, we don't have that, but we can recommend this instead"?

And yeah, I'll also ask the others on the team where they got their guns.

The SW22 is a great gun if you trick it out a bit; but it's not in the league of a S&W 41

 

[quinnjalan]

I used to shoot clays at 100 yards with my S&W Model 41. Just hold 8” over and the lead fell right in. I really enjoyed doing it when the tatci-cool guys were on the 50 yard range and couldn’t hit a barn door.

 

[50wt]

Mtr in smithfield has a nice selection as do most shops in RI . The Sporting Shoppe has some Volquartson in stock as well and a few other models.

My first white gun.

Have all the TK and Volquartsen parts + G10 grips on the way.

Nope. I cannot beat these guys.
