Ruger Mark IV Lite

The Ruger Mark IV Lite takes the Mark IV's proven one-button takedown and crisp single-action trigger and pairs them with a ventilated anodized aluminum receiver. Available in multiple colors (gold, purple, diamond gray, and more), the Lite is the most visually distinctive .22 LR pistol available.

The 4.4-inch barrel and 24.8 oz weight make it lighter and more maneuverable than the steel-framed Mark IV Target or SW22 Victory. The single-action trigger is the same design as the Tactical model, breaking at approximately 2.25-3 lbs. Cleaning is effortless with the one-button takedown.

The Mark IV Lite does not have a threaded barrel, which rules it out as a suppressor host. Shooters who want both the Lite's aesthetics and suppressor capability should look at the Mark IV 22/45 Tactical instead. The Volquartsen and TandemKross aftermarket applies to all Mark IV variants, so the Lite can be upgraded with match triggers, compensators, and optics mounts.
