Manufacturer’s Description

The Ruger Mark IV Competition is a semiauto pistol built on a stainless steel frame with a stainless steel upper receiver, and chambered in .22 LR. Other features include:

• A recessed button in the frame’s rear allows the upper receiver to tilt up and off the grip frame without the use of tools;
• a one-piece, precision CNC-machined grip frame;
• a slab-sided bull barrel;
• an ergonomic bolt stop;

  

• replaceable smooth and polished laminate grips;
• an internal cylindrical bolt to ensure permanent sight-to-barrel alignment;
• a contoured ejection port and easy-to-grasp bolt ears;
• an adjustable rear sight;
• a fixed post front sight;
• a drilled and tapped receiver for a Weaver- or picatinny-style optics rail (rail not included);
• an ambidextrous manual safety that positively locks the sear in the “SAFE” position when applied (you can convert the safety to left-side-only with an included washer);
• a left-side push-button magazine release and a drop-free magazine;
• a magazine disconnect safety;
• a satin stainless finish; and
• two 10-round magazines.

For the Mark IV Competition’s initial run, Ruger will laser-engrave “100 Years” and William B. Ruger’s signature on the barrel to celebrate the company founder’s 100th birthday. It will produce 1,000 of these pistols with a special serial number, and include a Ruger centennial knife from CRKT with a matching serial number and leather sheath.

Note: This pistol is not California- or Massachusetts-approved.
