Configured as the Mark IV Target model, this pistol combines the classic Mark-series profile with a 5.50 in bull barrel and a cold hammer-forged bore. The 1:16 RH twist is matched to .22 LR, and the blowback action keeps the setup straightforward and proven.
The sight system is a clean, functional arrangement: a fixed front blade sight and an adjustable rear sight. On this example, the front sight has been DIY-painted orange, providing a higher-contrast aiming reference while keeping the factory-style iron-sight layout.
The pistol wears a blued finish and uses an aluminum frame with a blued alloy steel receiver. It is fitted with checkered black synthetic grip panels with Ruger medallion inserts for a familiar Mark-series feel in the hand.
Other notable details include the receiver being drilled and tapped for a rail, with the mounting provision visible as top fasteners/plug screws. Barrel and receiver markings include "RUGER MARK IV" and "TARGET," along with the barrel warning marking "READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING FIREARM." Manufacture year is stated as 2019.
