Built on Ruger’s early Standard/Mark I-pattern design, this pistol uses a simple blowback action with a right-side ejection port and a slim/tapered 4 inch barrel. It wears black checkered grip panels with Ruger medallions and retains the original fixed iron sight configuration, including a front blade and a low-profile rear notch with no adjustment hardware visible.
Controls and handling features are true to the pattern, including a heel-style magazine catch and a manual safety. The rear bolt "ears" provide the familiar manual charging method associated with the tubular receiver and internal cylindrical bolt layout.
Markings include "RUGER" and ".22 CAL. LONG RIFLE" / "AUTOMATIC PISTOL," along with "STURM, RUGER & CO., INC." / "SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A." The serial number is 400889.
With a stated 10+1 capacity and six included 10-round magazines, this package offers a strong magazine set for a Ruger Standard/Mark I-pattern pistol while keeping the fixed-sight, non-target configuration that defines this specific setup.
