The blued-steel tubular receiver incorporates an integral 5.5 inch non-tapered bull barrel with a brushed blued finish. The receiver is drilled and tapped for an optics base, and the filler screws are installed. The cylindrical bolt uses twin grasping ears for confident, ambidextrous charging.
The 22/45 polymer grip frame delivers a 1911-style grip angle and features checkered molded panels with Ruger medallions. Controls include a push-button magazine release and the familiar Mark-series rear mainspring housing for takedown.
Sighting is purpose-built for precision with a Patridge-style front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear, forming a clear, target-focused sight picture. The adjustable target iron sights align with the pistol’s Target series role.
Operation is simple blowback with a single-action trigger, complemented by a manual thumb safety and a loaded chamber indicator. Capacity is 10+1 rounds of .22 LR, meeting typical range and training needs while keeping recoil minimal.
Manufactured in the USA in 2016, this full-size Mark III 22/45 Target combines durable blued construction with a lightweight polymer frame for steady balance and control on the line.
