But ArmaLite knows you and your firearm often have more than one mission, and you want options. ArmaLite gives you just that. The SPR Mod 1’s three o’clock, six o’clock, and nine o’clock rails are detachable.

That’s right, you can change your 1913 rails to fit your changing needs for sights… lights… lasers… grips… or swivels.

ArmaLite President Mark Westrom Demonstrates the SPR Mod 1 Rail Sysytem

ArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifle Close Up at the Rail System

ArmaLite Inc

Geneseo, IL - -(AmmoLand.com)- ArmaLite is known for its history of innovation.

Its Special Purpose Rifle (SPR®) has proved it for years. Now, the introduction of the ArmaLite SPR Mod 1™ proves it once more, in spectacular faArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifleshion.

The SPR Mod 1 is a forged, one-piece upper receiver/rail system with exclusive detachable side and bottom rails.

In true ArmaLite fashion, the SPR Mod 1 is like no other on the market.  With other one-piece systems, you’re stuck forever with the rails you get at purchase, and stuck with their limits.

ArmaLite Special Purpose (SPR) MOD 1 Rifle

But ArmaLite knows you and your firearm often have more than one mission, and you want options. ArmaLite gives you just that. The SPR Mod 1’s three o’clock, six o’clock, and nine o’clock rails are detachable.  That’s right, you can change your 1913 rails to fit your changing needs for sights… lights… lasers… grips… or swivels.

ArmaLite takes that versatility even further.  Each SPR Mod 1 comes with three extra rails standard, at no extra cost. We give you a 1913 rail with a quick detach sling swivel hole. Each rifle comes with a low insert for when you need a bare rail with a low profile.  There’s also a plain insert with a quick detach sling swivel hole. Changing your rails… your add-ons… and your SPR Mod 1… is as easy as turning a torque wrench.

Ingenious versatility isn’t the only reason you’ll want an SPR Mod 1.  Its one-piece construction offers you a continuous optics platform (COP). There’s no gap to bridge between receiver and upper rail when you’re installing your scope or sights. This one-piece construction also gives the sighting platform extra rigidity. It’s a good, strong backbone. That means your sights will stay zeroed in the most trying conditions.

The SPR Mod 1 typifies the “ArmaLite Standard of Excellence.” With us, quality comes standard. There’s no extra charge for: the SPR Mod 1’s chrome lined, chrome moly vanadium steel barrel; its two-stage tactical trigger; the patented, extra strength steel bolt assembly; or the hard coated finish. These are all things that other companies consider options at an added cost.

The introduction of the new ArmaLite SPR Mod 1 is truly a new chapter in our history of innovation and our dedication to the quality you deserve.

AWC M91 BDR Breakdown Rifle

Standard customizable configurations offer either right- or left-handed bolts and are available in .308 WIN or .223.

Thompson Center Arms

ROCHESTER, N.H. – -(Ammoland.com) – Thompson/Center Arms Company, Inc., a Smith & Wesson company, is pleased to announce their support of a soon to be released educational DVD produced by the National Rifle Association (NRA) entitled “Taking the Mystery Out of Muzzleloading.” The new instructional video is a valuable tool designed to introduce and further educate consumers and instructors on the fundamentals of muzzleloading and its allure.

“Throughout the development of the DVD, we had two distinct goals in mind,” said Bill Poole, Director, NRA Education and Training Division. “First, we wanted to provide retailers and dealers with a recruitment tool designed to expose both hunters and shooters to the sport of muzzleloading. Our second goal was to supply instructors with an enriched tool to use in training courses across the nation. With the availability of this DVD, we now have another opportunity to inform people who otherwise might not be aware of the many activities that can be accomplished with a muzzleloader.”

Featuring segments on both the traditional and modern in-line muzzleloaders, the new DVD helps to answer questions frequently asked by new shooters entering the sport while also providing black powder enthusiasts with helpful tips once they are in the field. The DVD covers such topics as the history of black powder, identifying the different types of muzzleloaders, shooting fundamentals, loading options, safety and more. The end result is an informative piece for use in the home or in the classroom.

“Thompson/Center is committed to supporting the NRA and those initiatives which benefit youth and beginners alike,” said Tom Kelly, Vice President of Marketing for Smith & Wesson and Thompson/Center Arms. “With the ever changing technologies and features in muzzleloading, we agree that this DVD is a perfect way to help new hunters and shooters get more involved. Our commitment to the NRA and their youth and education projects remains steadfast and we’re proud to support this new release.”

The NRA plans to distribute the DVD to all sponsors and will also make it available to NRA/NMLRA instructors. For more information regarding availability and pricing on the new DVD, please contact Kerrin Brinkman at kbrinkman@nrahq.org.

Thompson Center Arms Supports New Educational DVD On Muzzleloading

Colt Dragoon: Colt 3rd model shoulder stock provision Dragoon pistol, 1858, Serial #17482 ($7,770).

SoldUSA.com

MATTHEWS, N.C. – -(AmmoLand.com)-  An exceedingly rare group of three distinguished awards given to World War I German flying ace Adolf Ritter von Tutschek soared to $28,250 in an Internet and catalog auction that ended Jan. 23-24 by SoldUSA.com, the premier hunting and fishing, militaria and collectibles site.

The group was the top earner of the more than 1,000 lots sold.

“Overall, this was a very positive auction,” said Chris Roberts of SoldUSA.com, “and already great consignments are pouring in for our next sale” (which will go online in early March and conclude Mar. 20-21). “On the first day of the sale, we had 1.7 million hits and had to re-start the system twice. We’ll have to tweak the software to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

Of the estimated 42,000 bidders in SoldUSA.com’s database, around 3,000 registered to bid in the recent sale.

“They were participating literally from all over the world,” Mr. Roberts said. “Bids came in from Ireland, France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom. It was astounding. Collectors like the fact that we guarantee the authenticity of every single item we put up for bid.”

The von Tutschek lot consisted of his original named and engraved Pour Le Merit “Blue Max” award, a one-of-a-kind piece still in its original case and in excellent condition; his cased silver Iron Cross medal, boasting a nice silver age patina and with his name engraved on the reverse; and his engraved cut-out pilot’s badge, engraved with his name and in a leatherette box.

Von Tutschek was a soldier turned fighter pilot who began flying with Germany’s Jagstaffel 2 force in January 1917. He was later given command of the new Jagdeschwader 2 and began flying sorties in his new Fokker D-1 green tri-plane. The ace managed to rack up 27 confirmed kills before he himself was shot down and killed on Mar. 15, 1918, only 26 years old.

Winchester "Woman in Yellow Hunting Coat" calendar poster from 1912 ($5,085).

Following are additional highlights from the sale. All prices quoted include a 13 percent buyer’s premium.

• An H. E. Leman identified flintlock Pennsylvania rifle (circa 1835), rare and with a tin-type of the original owner holding the weapon, hit the mark for $8,661. The rifle is possibly a first-year production firearm by Leman. It had not been restored (and the original ramrod was missing). Measuring 62 inches long, it featured brass fittings, metal patch box and set triggers.
• The rifle was made more remarkable by the fact that it has been in the same family – the Elliotts, who originally moved from Georgia to Oklahoma, prior to the “Trail of Tears.” It had been passed down through the Elliott family to the consignor, who can still remember the rifle hanging over the fireplace of her grandfather, Ben Elliott, who was born in 1881 and died 1945.

Colt Dragoon Pistol Sells For $7,770

Charter Arms Target Patriot Revolver in .327 Federal Mag

Charter Arms

Dayton, OH - -(AmmoLand.com)- Nowadays with so many sexy new semi-automatics coming out in the market, it is easy to forget so-called old school technology and why it remains efficient and excellent for self-defense in today’s world of nifty new firearms.

Unfortunately so-called old school wheel guns except those in the newer cannon calibers are many times seen as so what guns.

Can this be true?  Is a $395 revolver designed for self-defense really worth anything anymore in this day of high-capacity $900 semi-autos with every option and feature you can think of including even a bayonet lug and fancy $600 revolvers that will hold a ton of ammo?

We think yes.
First, it really is better to NOT to even have to point a gun at a potential or actual attacker or worse yet to have to shoot one.  The real mission is to get out of that mess unharmed and obviously alive. While it makes for interesting macho conversation to talk about filling a drug filled attacker with lead or blowing their head off with bird shot (if their head is a watermelon), the reality is that getting away from a bad situation alive and unharmed is the best option.  If that means having to run from an attacker who is armed with a knife while you have a revolver in your hand and the result is you get away without having to shoot him, that’s still the best deal.

However, if the situation has progressed to the last resort where the time for deadly force self-defense shooting and stopping the attacker (never with the goal of “killing them”) is all you may have left, and then you had better have a reliable firearm in a sufficient caliber to stop the attack with you when you need it most.

Charter Arms Undercover Lite Black Revolver

The Advantages of Revolvers for Self Defense
As a deterrent, revolvers are easily recognized as a firearm, even in reduced light, especially if manufactured in a visible finish.  Revolvers are quickly recognized as guns even by dumb bad guys.  The revolver communicates that this is a real gun and not something else like a can of soda, etc.  This recognition may save you from having to fire to convince him further.

No normal person wants to shoot someone.  Many folks forget that even if everything goes their way in a shooting, there are legal costs, potential lawsuits, and the long-term mental stress and strain of having shot someone.  And if the DA feels it was not necessary, or there are other elements in the case he thinks he can prove against you then the problems will get worse.

Bottom line the mere sight of a recognizable real-looking and loaded firearm will stop many an attacker in their tracks!

Here are some points to consider:

• There is little doubt a revolver is loaded and many times the threat/attacker will see it’s loaded by simply looking at the cylinder and seeing the ammunition in it.  Many people paint a light coating of liquid paper or white paint on the bullet tips to make them more visible for deterrent value.
• Revolvers are quick and easy to operate. Simply draw, aim and fire. No switches or tricky functioning, stoppages or other malfunctions; they will work when they are most needed!
• Any trainer will tell you that revolvers require less training than semi-autos to fire competently and safely thus making them the best firearm for the average citizen for self-defense purposes.
• Revolvers are very fast to get into action, incredibly reliable and nearly foolproof.
• Some people feel revolver trigger pulls, especially in double-action mode are heavy (you read about it in every gun test magazine article and blog).  But in life and death adrenalin-filled situations the pull of a revolver trigger is not even noticed by the shooter, nor the sound or recoil.  Light triggers are one reason why accidental semi-auto discharges are so common especially when people are under stress (contagious fire from police officers is a sad example of this).  The double action revolver is actually safer because you do not want to accidentally shoot anyone.
• Revolvers are generally much more affordably priced than most semi-automatic pistols.
• Today’s revolver ammunition is much more effective than that of just 20 years ago. Charter Arms revolvers offer powerful loadings in compact and lightweight revolvers that include: 32 H&R Magnum, .38 Special +P, .327 Federal Magnum, .357 Magnum and .44 Special calibers. Typically a 2” barrel will lose only 30-85 fps velocity over a 4-inch barrel, so snub barrels are not a significant velocity disadvantage but do present a definite easy carry and quick to action advantage.  Few bad guys will complain that the bullets you hit them with were not going fast enough.
• Ammunition mix can be significant.  A revolver can digest and fire any ammunition chambered for that particular firearm.  This can be any type of bullet design or ammunition mix you may wish to carry, such as perhaps the first two shots being frangible high-expansion ammunition followed by heavier hollow-point or even solid loads.  Revolvers are not sensitive to the bullet design or velocity (low recoil loads may not function some semi-autos) and when it comes to defending one’s life, this choice of load option is a very real advantage.
• While high-capacity autos are popular, well known shooters like Jeff Cooper and Mass Ayoob and many other professional shooters have argued for years (and we paraphrase) it’s accuracy that counts, not all of those high-capacity magazine, liability loaded, people-and- property damaging misses.  Bottom line is that you will be held legally responsible for every shot you fire; hits and misses.

Charter Arms Revolvers
Charter Arms’ compact, lightweight revolvers offer tremendous power-to-size ratios and, due to grip and overall design, they are very easy to draw, point and control. Many short-grip and compact autos (especially small autos in effective stopping calibers) can, due to size and especially ergonomic configuration, be very difficult to draw, grasp and control in a real world reactive life or death adrenaline-packed encounter where survival depends on draw speed, correct grip (purchase) and operational control.

We may tend to forget that at the firing range without a real death threat we generally take the extra time to acquire a proper and firm grip with a compact effective-caliber semi-auto. But, in a panic packed confrontation we don’t have that luxury and it consistently shows up in high-stress tactical training and of course in real life and death encounters.  For this reason the lightweight compact revolver is well-suited for the average citizen who wants effective protection and professionals in need of a solid, effective primary and totally reliable back-up firearm in a fight stopping caliber.

Many licensed concealed-carry permit holders may start with good intentions to carry, but the enthusiasm wanes quickly if their firearm is wrong for them:  Too wide of a cylinder or too thick of a slide, too heavy, too big, too long or uncomfortable and many will eventually stop carrying their firearm.

Charter Arms’ revolvers boast the lightest weights and most-compact revolver designs.

Shooters at any level do NOT buy a short-barreled compact revolver to take to the range and plink, hunt or shoot targets with. Yet people will talk and blog endlessly about so-called “excessive recoil,” short barrel sight radiuses, etc. as though target shooting, plinking and hunting are why the person initially bought the compact firearm in the first place. Their technically irrelevant remarks relate to snub nose revolvers with the same credibility as comparing a Ferrari to a dump truck. While each vehicle has an engine, doors and tires but they sure are not the same and to compare these two vehicles against each other is like comparing compact revolvers to larger firearms is just chatter.

Also revolvers are built to fire many thousands of rounds of ammunition over a lifetime. Very few people will ever put more than 1,000 rounds (twenty 50-round boxes) through their handgun. So talking as if they will become the person’s next lifetime 10,000-round shooter is interesting, but not realistic.

Accuracy testing: Many talk of testing handgun accuracy at 25 and even 50-yards. Actually, testing short-barreled revolvers at ranges over 10 yards is sort of like testing an over-the-counter hunting rifle at the 1,000-yard line at Camp Perry.  Ninety percent of big-game kills are made at ranges under 200-yards which is why most writers (who know their audience and their readers’ abilities) test rifles at 100-200 yards—it’s a realistic distance.

Yet, some of the very same people (and bloggers for sure) talk of testing short barrel self-defense handguns at 25 yards (a recognized NRA competition distance) when the intended and real use is at encounter ranges typically (according to FBI data, too) under 5 yards. We have tested 2-inch barreled Charters at 50 yards (hand held off a rest) and the rounds will stay in a 6 inch circle and they will stay in a chest size target at 200 yards, yes 200 yards—but is that realistic?

Let’s Get Real:
The reality is that the bad guy wants you and/or your money. To get to you and/or your money he needs to get much closer. When inserting bullet holes into an attacker at long range, the shooter had better be able to prove that that the attacker was able, capable (had the weapon reach), the willingness and, demonstrated through his actions, was actively trying to cause and could cause great bodily harm at that longer distance. Generally, if not, the defender will get to see first hand how our criminal and civil court cases work concerning their long range shooting skills.

Then again allowing anyone you feel is a serious threat to get you to get within a car length is very dangerous for you unless you have already drawn the firearm.  It has been demonstrated many times in real life and in training that from 20 feet, a guy with a knife will can easily close that distance and cut you to ribbons before you can draw your firearm, let alone fire it effectively to stop him in time.   This is one reason why in a bad situation your first goal if at all possible is to get something between you.  IE: car, desk, trash can, fence, gate, tree, or a great distance!

Muzzle Flash:
Many feel muzzle flash is a disadvantage. On the battlefield it is because it gives away one’s position and makes the shooter and his unit vulnerable to lethal counter-fire (many times from superior weapons and multiple-attackers). Reduced muzzle flash may be an advantage to hunters since the flash from a high-powered rifle might spook an animal before the bullet or the sound arrives, but muzzle flash has little or no effect on the shooter, even when (if) seen through a scope sight, even for follow up shots.

Handgun muzzle flash (regardless of type of handgun) can actually work to your advantage. If you are under assault it is pretty obvious the attacker knows where you are; well no duh!  If you must fire to protect your life, muzzle flash giving away your position is hardly a concern.

When a handgun is fired at an attacker close in (especially at night or in reduced light conditions) the attacker facing the muzzle gets all of the flash, every glorious bright bit of it. This can cause some temporary blinding (flash-bulb effect) as well as a tremendous psychological effect even if not struck by the bullet.  In addition, if the attacker is very close and if the defender misses (it happens much more than you might think at ranges under 10 feet with any gun—just watch the cop shows where both cops and bad guys spray bullets all over) the attacker gets massive noise, flash, heat, and certainly some hot powder particles all of which may diminish the attack somewhat and that may be all the time you need for follow up shots.

However, the defending shooter will only see some flash over the top of the revolver, not the whole ball of bright light the attacker gets.  Another advantage in dark or low light conditions is the flash silhouettes the defender’s sights. This can help the defender adjust quickly for a second shot (experienced and practiced shooters can routinely take advantage of this, even in total darkness).   This brief instant of flash can be even be utilized by less-experienced shooters also; they just need to be made aware of it and how it can help them.

We feel (regardless of firearm) that a bright muzzle flash is an advantage in nearly all self-defense situations that goes to the defender and is a distinct disadvantage to the attacker—and for what it is worth, shorter barrels deliver more flash.

Getterdun
The key to compact, lightweight self-defense revolver design-and an advantage over compact semi-autos-is that Charter Arms revolvers are comfortable to carry and will be with you if needed.  Think about this: Regardless of size, cost, and bells and whistles, if you get lost in the woods the best knife in the world is the knife you have with you when you need it.  The same applies to conceal-carry self-defense handguns.  If you have a big moocho macho super auto., fat high capacity or fancy revolver and it’s too big, heavy or uncomfortable to carry you may not have it with you if you need it.

The handgun (semi-auto or revolver) must fit.  Revolvers can be quickly drawn with a nearly perfect properly registered grip.  Most trainers instruct their students to draw fast then hit the brakes, aim quickly and shoot effectively.

We hope you can see that the short-barreled self-defense revolver shines even in these days of what’s the latest.  When it comes to close-in self-defense, Charter Arms manufactures the lightest, most-compact, most-reliable, safest, and most effective-reactive self-defense revolvers in the industry.  Charter Arms’ revolvers do the job they were designed to do and that’s all you can ask from any firearm.

Anatomy of a Charter Arms Revolver

Specific Notes On Charter Arms Revolvers:

1. Don’t Confuse Affordable With Cheap: Charter revolvers are the most affordable high-quality handguns in the market. Period!  If you want to pay more, then just offer your retailer an extra $100, he will appreciate the generosity.
2. Lightweight: The ultra-light aluminum frame models are made from tough 7075 aircraft aluminum alloy.  They are the lightest in the industry.
3. Compact: They are, for their calibers, the most compact (easy to carry) revolvers in the market.
4. Machining: Charter Arms revolvers are 100-percent U.S.A. made and are fully warranted—forever!  That’s right. Forever!  This unique warranty follows the gun not just the first buyer.
5. Hammer Travel/Lock Time: Fastest in the industry for a factory production revolver.
6. Fewer Parts: Through advanced engineering they have fewer parts (less opportunity for failure).
7. Safest Hammer Block System In The Industry: It’s true. Did you know that Charter Arms invented the hammer block system (and concept) you see on all new firearms?  Charter freely gave this valuable technology to the industry (even Charter’s direct competitors) to keep all shooters safer with this new invention regardless of brand or design.
8. Solid Side Plate: Actually no (screw-on) side plate at all.  The result is a much stronger overall frame (less flex), and it is made possible in part to number 6 above.
9. Three Point (not two) Cylinder Lock Up results in superior strength and improved accuracy.
10. The Crane (also called the yoke) is held in place by the frame: Other revolvers use 100-year old technology to hold the yoke in place with a small screw that by itself must resist recoil momentum. While it works the side screw can loosen or fail. On Charter revolvers the yoke is retained in the frame itself resulting in significantly more strength and some accuracy advantage.
11. Eight Groove Button Rifled Barrel: Only Charter has it.  The result is better gas sealing which results in higher-velocities.  Unlike the deeper and more abrasive lands and grooves in other brands which can distort the bullet some. The result is Charters’ accuracy is better, too.
12. Manufacturing/Engineering Quality: Highest in the industry. If you want it pretty, shiny, or modified somehow Charter can do that-too, it just costs more and does not make it shoot one bit better. But for a highly affordable, user friendly and effective working self-defense firearm that a person will carry and not be afraid to knock around, Charter Arms makes the best.
13. About Pretty and Shiny: The U.S. Army Rangers have a saying: “Train like you fight, fight like you train.” It means just that too. Under life-and-death pressure you will act and handle your firearms just as you do in practice or in everyday life. It’s a psychological fact, if you baby your expensive, shiny, pretty gun in practice you will baby it when you need it.

Charter Arms revolvers are made to be used and used hard. This means you can toss one in your tackle box, pack, under your car floor mat, or wherever (as long as it is legal), so it is there to protect your life when you need it.

If you want a high-quality, reliable, affordable and good looking working gun that comes with a lifetime warranty and a gun you will not be afraid to have with you when you need it, well, that’s what Charter Arms makes.

Rizzini USA Has Unveiled The New Inverness Round Body Shotgun

National Shooting Sports Foundation

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- According to the most recent Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax Collection Report, released by the Department of the Treasury, firearm and ammunition manufacturers report excise tax obligations to be more than $115.8 million in the third calendar quarter of 2009, up 29 percent over the same time period reported in 2008.

The increase follows a 52 percent increase in excise tax obligations from the previous quarter (2Q, 2009) and more than a year of record-high FBI background checks for firearm purchasers — another strong indicator of firearm sales.

The report, which covers the time period of July 1 through Sept. 30, shows that $29.85 million was due in taxes for pistols and revolvers, $37.09 million for long guns and $48.89 million for ammunition.

Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax Collection Up 29%

Compared to the same quarter in 2008, collections were up 50.2 percent for handguns, 33.4 percent for ammunition and 11.5 percent for long guns.

Encourage support for excise tax reform legislation:

It is important that members of the firearms and ammunition industry urge their senators and representatives to support S 632 and HR 510 — pro-conservation, pro-business, bipartisan legislation to bring equity to the excise tax payment schedule.

AcuSport To Sell Three New Exclusive Ruger 10/22 Rifles

Ruger

Southport, CT –-(AmmoLand.com)- Firearms history, self-defense tips, and basic firearm skills are just some of the topics the new Ruger online video series will explore.

Striving to be both interesting and educational, Ruger has brought in industry professionals to share their knowledge and expertise with the Ruger online community.

New video segments will be released every Wednesday exclusively on www.Ruger.com. Previously posted videos will also appear on the Ruger You Tube Channel at www.YouTube.com/RugerFirearms.

The first video series to be released was the “History of the Gun,” a unique look at the progression of firearms technology throughout the years. The series is hosted by Senior Editor of Guns & Ammo Garry James, who is acknowledged as one of the world’s foremost experts on the history and technology of firearms.

James has first-hand knowledge of everything from medieval hand-cannons to the most modern full-autos. After college, James joined the U.S. Army, eventually becoming an Ordnance ammunition officer. Posting to an ammunition depot in South Wales, UK enabled him to further study and shoot old firearms and, after discharge, James joined the staff of Guns & Ammo magazine in 1971 where he eventually served as Editor.

Besides acting as Arms & Armour Expert for the auction firm of Sotheby Parke Bernet, James has been a technical advisor for films and television, including the popular History Channel series, “Story of the Gun,” “Tales of the Gun,” and “Mail Call.”

On Wednesday, December 16th, “Ruger Tactical Tips” will debut with career law enforcement officer Dave Spaulding. This series is a collection of self-defense tips designed to help individuals learn proper skills and techniques to defend themselves. Spaulding has worked in all facets of law enforcement and was a founding member of his agency’s SWAT Team.

He was also the commander of a multi-agency narcotics task force that included local, state and federal investigators.

Ruger 22/45 RP Rimfire Pistol

Ruger

Southport, CT –-(AmmoLand.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. (NYSE:RGR) is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Ruger® 22/45RP Mark IIITM pistol, an even more realistic understudy for the venerable 1911 pistol.

Now, the classic 1911 grip angle and feel of the Ruger 22/45 pistol is enhanced by replaceable 1911-style grip panels.

The checkered, cocobolo, 1911- style grips are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and allow shooters to swap to other grip panels to suit their shooting taste, style or need.

Like all pistols in the 22/45 lineup, the new Ruger 22/45RP pistol offers virtually identical magazine button, manual safety, and bolt stop locations as the classic 1911 pistol. The slim polymer grip frame features a serrated front strap and a checkered back strap.

The 33 ounce Ruger 22/45RP, chambered in .22 LR, features a blued alloy steel 5.5-inch bull barrel with a fixed front sight and micro-adjustable rear sight. Mounting optics on the new pistol is easy as all adjustable sight Ruger Mark III pistols are drilled and tapped for a Weaver-style scope adapter, included at no extra charge.
