The ventilated aluminum upper features circular lightening ports and a fixed-barrel design with a tensioned stainless steel liner. The 4.4 in barrel is threaded 1/2x28, supporting common .22 LR muzzle devices, and the stainless cylindrical bolt uses rear grasping ears for positive manipulation.
Controls are straightforward and familiar: a left-side magazine release, an ambidextrous manual safety, and a bolt hold-open. A magazine disconnect is included. The top ejection port and straight-blowback semiautomatic action deliver simple, reliable operation.
The 22/45 polymer grip frame provides a 1911-style grip angle, and the checkered polymer grip panels with a molded Ruger logo are replaceable. Sighting is via a fixed front blade and an adjustable rear sight for precise elevation and windage corrections.
Mounting provisions are built in, with a scope mount and rail noted. The purple anodized receiver finish is both distinctive and durable, complementing the lightweight aluminum construction. Capacity is 10+1 in .22 LR, with the Mark IV’s one-button takedown system simplifying fieldstripping and cleaning.
