Ruger 22/45 Mark III Target .22 LR Semi-Automatic Pistol, 5.5 in Bull Barrel, 10-Round
Built for accurate, low-recoil shooting, this Ruger 22/45 Mark III Target blends the proven Mark-series action with a 1911-style polymer grip frame. The heavy 5.5-inch bull barrel, fiber-optic front sight, and adjustable rear sight give the shooter a clear sight picture and excellent balance. Manufactured in 2012, this pistol is drilled and tapped for an optic rail, adding flexibility for target or plinking setups.

The 22/45 grip angle matches the classic 1911, giving the pistol a familiar feel while keeping weight down with glass-filled nylon construction. Checkered panels molded into the frame provide solid purchase without adding bulk.
The alloy steel receiver and non-fluted bull barrel are finished in satin blue for a clean, understated look. The added mass of the barrel helps steady the sight picture and reduces muzzle rise for fast follow-up shots.
Target-style sights come standard: a high-visibility green fiber-optic front and an adjustable square-notch rear. For shooters who prefer optics, the receiver’s factory-drilled and tapped holes accept Weaver-style rails.
Ruger’s straight blowback action is known for reliability with a wide range of .22 LR ammunition. Safety features include a manual thumb safety, magazine disconnect, internal key lock, and loaded chamber indicator.
