Ruger 22/45 Mark III Target .22 LR Stainless 5.5-Inch Bull Barrel Semi-Automatic Pistol (2007)
The Ruger 22/45 Mark III Target blends the classic lines of the company’s renowned rimfire pistols with a polymer grip frame that mirrors the 1911’s angle and feel. Built in 2007, this full-size .22 LR features a 5.5-inch stainless bull barrel for enhanced stability, a satin stainless receiver drilled and tapped for a scope base, and the Mark III’s added safety elements.

Ruger’s 22/45 design places polymer grip panels—complete with red Ruger medallions—at a 1911-style angle, giving shooters a familiar feel while keeping weight down. The push-button magazine release and single-action trigger further echo a 1911’s manual of arms.
The 5.5-inch stainless bull barrel provides rigid harmonics and helps maintain point of impact during extended shooting sessions. Inside, a 1:16 RH twist stabilizes a wide range of .22 LR loads for both target work and plinking.
This Mark III generation adds a loaded-chamber indicator, magazine disconnect, internal lockwork safety, and manual thumb safety—features that meet modern user preferences without changing the pistol’s proven straight-blowback action.
The satin stainless finish on the barrel, receiver, and bolt resists corrosion and cleans up easily after a day at the range. Adjustable target sights—Patridge-style front and a fully adjustable rear—allow precise zeroing for different ammunition or distances.
