The Competition Target configuration features a fixed-barrel tubular-receiver design, a heavy-profile slab-sided stainless barrel with a recessed crown, and a satin/brushed stainless finish across the frame and receiver. The installed Weaver-style base is screw-attached to the receiver for streamlined optic mounting when desired.
Target-focused sighting is provided by a fully adjustable black rear sight and a red fiber-optic front sight for a defined sight picture. A target-style trigger, rear "ears" on the charging handle, and the simple blowback action contribute to the platform’s precise and predictable operation.
Ruger’s internal cylindrical bolt runs smoothly, and the pistol includes a loaded chamber indicator. The ergonomic, checkered laminate target grips with a right-hand thumb rest support consistent hand placement for slow-fire or sustained strings.
