The 6.875-inch heavy-taper barrel offers excellent sight radius and stability, with a distinct step at the receiver that is characteristic of this Target configuration. The sighting setup is purpose-built for precision: a tall undercut Patridge-style front sight pairs with a receiver-mounted, screw-adjustable rear target sight.
Construction is all-steel with a blued finish across the frame, receiver, and barrel. The action is a reliable semi-automatic blowback design. The cylindrical bolt features twin rear grasping ears for confident manipulation, and a left-side bolt hold-open lever provides straightforward control. A manual safety is fitted.
This example was manufactured in the United States in 1995 and carries the 221- serial prefix. The receiver is rollmarked "MARK II TARGET," underscoring its factory-target configuration. Grips are black checkered synthetic with the Ruger eagle medallion, offering a secure hold with a classic look.
It ships with one 9-round Mark II magazine. The magazine includes a left-side follower button and witness slot, and the pistol has a 9+1 capacity.
