Ruger Mark II 22/45 Target .22 LR 5.5" Bull-Barrel Semi-Auto Pistol — 1996 Production
Produced in 1996, this Ruger Mark II 22/45 Target pairs the time-tested Mark II action with a 5.5-inch bull barrel and a 1911-style polymer grip frame. The result is a durable, full-size .22 LR pistol that balances quickly, holds ten rounds, and keeps the sights fixed to the barrel for reliable accuracy.

The serial prefix 220- places this pistol in early Mark II 22/45 production, predating later design changes such as a loaded-chamber indicator and magazine-disconnect safety.
The glass-filled Zytel polymer frame replicates the 1911 grip angle, giving shooters a familiar feel while trimming weight compared with all-steel Mark II models.
An internal cylindrical bolt rides inside the fixed alloy-steel receiver, so the adjustable iron sights remain locked to the heavy 5.5-inch barrel. This design helps maintain point of impact shot after shot.
The blued alloy-steel bull barrel adds forward weight for steadier off-hand aim, while the single-action trigger and manual safety keep controls straightforward.
