Opinions on the Ruger 22/45 Lite

[Magdump]

I have the blue one. I have had a half dozen 22/45 Rugers over the years and this one is the first one that repeatedly hangs up. At first I was hoping it was just new and would eventually break in. Prob shot 800 rounds through it and it still hangs up. If I get through a whole 10 round magazine I am beyond happy. Usually don't happen though. Very accurate though when it shoots.

I have tried a mixture of ammo also.

contact Ruger, get a shipping label, fed ex from a hub and wait a week. Their customer service is top notch.

Here is mine. Got it in yesterday after ordering it on Wednesday.
I have a Spectre II in NFA jail waiting for it and my Ruger 10/22 Stainless Rifle.

Got one a few months back and it's quickly become one of my favorite plinkers. Mine eats anything and is surprisingly accurate. I'm also a big fan of all the Tandemkross stuff, great parts for the money. The hammer bushing is a must. Also threw in one of their triggers and extractors, as well as an AAC Element 2 (though it will probably wear the Dead Air Mask I currently have in NFA jail) and a Vortex Venom 3.5MOA on a prototype mount (had to black it out sorry). Awesome little package and loads of fun. Even claimed its first snake victim a couple weeks ago.

How you like the venom?

What exactly does the hammer bushing do?

Allows you to remove/eliminate the magazine disconnect safety and allows drop free mags while maintaining reliable function.

I would suggest you delete the loaded chamber indicator. It actually rubs the round while being fed into the chamber during cycling which can cause malfunctions in feeding and extraction. I bought the 22/45 with the upper and lower rail. Threw a JPoint (RDS) and TLR-3 on it. I added VQ trigger job and TK LCI delete kit. It runs like a top and smooth as butter naked or with a SiCo Spetre II. You will be very happy with your choice.

It also makes reassembly alot easier if you're one to tinker. All in all a great way to spend < $10.

As for the Venom I REALLY like it. More than quality enough for a .22 without spending crazy money on an RMR etc. Great little optic with an even better warranty. And while I typically recommend a bigger dot for a SD pistol, I feel the 3.5MOA is a good size for plinking and nailing snakes.

cool, tnx. Saved the link and going to put in an order for the pistol and bushing. Waiting on .gov right now.

How accurate are the 22/45 lites. I am looking for a light weight pistol for young shooters. Will be used in 4H competition and need to group in 2 ins. at 25 yards. All of the mark 111's I have seen and shot are a pain to reassemble after cleaning is the 22/45 lite any easier. David Hood

Ditto, I just ordered the same thing. Picked up a 22/45 Lite yesterday, great addition to my other two.

I prefer the buckmark, but both are fine. A short barrel is better for quieter shooting with a can.

Just a side note to my previous comment.

After trying and trying with the Ruger 22/45 Lite and not being able to run through a single magazine I sent it back off to Ruger and now that its back it shoots 100% better and like a Ruger should shoot. Shot 100 rounds through it when it came back and no matter how we shot it everything was flawless. Very happy now with the pistol.

I was looking at these just now and I did not see that black and stainless one on Rugers site...is that a older model or they havent updated there site yet?

 

[hunter5567]

I think it's an older model. Grabagun still has some for sale.
