Ruger has announced the release of two new Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite rimfire pistols, which boast a custom pistol look without the custom price.

Chambered for the popular .22 LR, both models are feature-rich and sport a 4.40” threaded cold-hammer forged barrel, adjustable sights, a Picatinny rail and an ambidextrous manual safety. The receiver is machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and is ventilated and lightweight.

The comfortable, precision-molded polymer grip frame incorporates replaceable checkered 1911-style grip panels that allow shooters to customize the look of the pistol. The Mark IV 22/45 Lite is the perfect outdoor companion and can be used for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting or competitive shooting. With one-button takedown, two 10-round magazines, and a 1911-style grip angle, it’s the perfect .22 caliber training pistol.

One pistol features a black receiver, black grip panels, gold trigger and a gold barrel for a look of understated elegance. The other features a champagne-colored receiver, black grip panels, and a black trigger. MSRP: $739
