Add a Volquartsen trigger and it will really run. Unless you get one of the rare Rugers that escaped the factory with a good trigger. Mine is very accurate but a brick of ammo doesn’t seem to last long.

 

Once you add a suppressor you just can't seem to buy enough ammunition!

 

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Went into to an LGS drop off my Supermatic to be shipped off for repairs and came home with a Mark IV Lite with red dot. Fun gun to shoot. Easiest take down I have ever seen. One of the salesman heard me mention something about sight mounts on a 22 and grabbed the Mark IV and said the sales guys were oggling it.

 

I love mine just need more practice syncing my eyes with the red dot.

 

Got a chance to shoot 22/45 yesterday. Not a great day windy and cold. At 25 yards and using the red dot. Shot very good under those conditions. Nicer day will move back to 50 and then 75 for final sight in. I am impressed so far.

 

I have never owned a mark IV, but I did buy one of the first 22/45 Lite Rugers. Great little gun!

 

Beautiful pistol!!

 

Haven't shot mine yet. Was fiddling around with buckmark, now have two suppressor hosts. Not pictured but have a reflex sight on ruger now. It is also 22/45 lite with 4.5" barrel. Before and after with buckmark.

 

Well this thing has turned into a real money pit for me. Strapped on a 4 X Simmons scope and shot at 75 yds . Grouped very nice but really had to concentrate as stock trigger on heavy side and not a smooth pull at all. So I ordered a blast pack which should smooth the pull and lower lbs on the pull. I liked shooting with the red dot at 25 yds and even 50 was ok. Anyway I wanted to be able to shoot with open iron , red dot or scope. I found a place where I could order uppers with no bolts. Seems I can change any upper and use my original bolt. So the blast pack and 2 target uppers are on their way. Along with a set of peep sights. Will post results when I get done with her.

 

Well with open iron , red dot and scope uppers installed. Waiting for red Ruger decal for my case. Scope sighted in but want to try with the Tandemkross blast pack installed. Then will sight other 2 uppers in.

 

Not sure what everyone sees in the 22/45.

 

I succumbed to the temptation of the 22/45 Lite, a Davidson exclusive with Riton shake awake red dot.

Smoky Mtn G&A knows how to separate me from my money.

Happy [emoji4] Happy.

Did you also get the sights and rail with the gun?

 

No, it does not have sights or a rail. What you see is what you get with this model. Minus the suppressor of course.

 

I saw this model at local gun shop last week.I like how clean it is without the sights.Looks sharp. Question...is the red dot mount attached with screws to the receiver or a dovetail type mount?

 

I will check and let you know.

 

Dang things multiply like rabbits. I stopped by a gun shop in my 'hood and there was a Lite on consignment for a great price.

 

this is probably common knowledge, but Volquartsen has take off barrels listed on their Clearance site for very good prices (they are shipped to an FFL as the barrels are serialized)...I originally purchased a 22/45 Lite for Steel Challenge, and found that it was too light weight for my liking (I previously shot a SW M41)... so added a muzzle weight to the lite and later one of the Volquartsen 5.1/2

" bull for my RFPO... removed the HS507 and rail, and have since converted the Lite barrel to a RFPI with a TacSol fiber optic front and widened OEM rear

 

I love my Mark IV 22/45 Lite with a C-More RDS. I use a 12 MOA dot for Steel Challenge shooting. I have also mounted a Bushnell First Strike sight, just like a Vortex, and it works great. Just too small of a dot for my tastes.

 

Was thrilled when I got a MKIII 22/45 LITE. Of course the trigger needed work so Volquartsen parts here I come. Great improvement.
Then I decided to try bullseye shooting and LITE just wasn't me so I hunted for a LLV till I found a price I could accept. WOW, what a difference! (The factory upper now needs a new home as its a dust collector today.)
Then it was a need to change grips. Well 1911 grips fit, sorta. Just took some modest Dremel work for the buttons. Wish I could find something I might like than the set I now have. Looking for something like the Volquartsen grips which fit a MKIII 22/45 frame.

I'm still resisting getting a MKIV...

 

Installed VQ accurizing kits in my IV's today.

 

Went to Scheels to "just look around", employee saw me eyeing this and was like "I'll let you check it out, but you'll wind up leaving with it". Now it's my favorite firearm in my entire lineup!

 

How it the accuracy with the Ruger Lite? 25yds, 50yds. Was told they are ok but looking for group sizes
