Introduced in 1982, the Mark II brought a bolt-hold-open feature and improved magazine release to Ruger’s proven straight-blowback design. This 1991 Standard model retains those upgrades and uses Ruger’s simple fixed rear notch paired with a pinned front blade sight.
The carbon-steel receiver and fixed 6-inch barrel are blued to a deep, even finish that complements the checkered walnut grips bearing Ruger medallions. The combination provides a stable sight radius and comfortable handling for both bench and field use.
A heel-type magazine release, single-action trigger, and manual thumb safety keep the controls familiar to Mark-series enthusiasts. The included quartet of factory magazines allows extended range sessions without constant reloading.
Serial prefix 216 confirms early-1990s production, placing this pistol in the first decade of Mark II manufacture—an era valued by shooters and collectors for its robust all-steel construction and precise machining.
