The 22/45 Lite Mark III pairs a lightweight, blue-anodized aluminum upper with a black glass-filled nylon frame to keep weight down while preserving the familiar 1911-style grip angle. The upper features ventilated oval ports often called shark gills, giving the pistol a distinctive look and quick handling.
Its 4.4" threaded, tensioned steel barrel uses a 1/2x28 thread pattern, and the blowback action runs via Ruger’s internal reciprocating bolt design. Capacity is 10+1 in .22 LR, using the included Ruger factory steel magazines.
Sighting is fast and clear thanks to a green fiber-optic front blade and a fully adjustable rear notch. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and a rail is factory installed with three screws for easy mounting of compatible accessories as desired.
Safety features include a manual thumb safety, magazine disconnect, internal lock, and a loaded chamber indicator. This pistol is marked with Ruger’s catalog number P45MK3ALRP-BG, aligning with the box end label noting Model 03908 Blue Anodize. Made in the USA.
