And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

To much extra stuff draped all over it, but still a beautiful gun
Not if the user is hunting at night with it. It would have some utility for hunting raccoons or administering the coup de grace to an immobilized hog, when hunting them at night.
We will have to agree to disagree. A red dot/green dot and a light might be surplusage for some applications and financially out of reach for some gun owners but, in general, this firearm is not equipped with "too much extra stuff." I am, however, unsure about the Picatinny rail that is necessary for the red dot. It may not be possible to mill this slide and, as a result, the rail may be necessary.
Hopefully the trigger is a full replacement. Even after a trigger job the factory unit on my friend's is heavy and creepy. If you're used to good triggers the 22/45's is plain awful.
it's cool, but all of that on a .22 is just overkill for me. i wish Ruger would make something on the same frame in larger calibers. i would buy one, or three.
I have a similar 22\45 . Changed the trigger out and mag safety. Also put optics on it. You can dump a mag at twenty yards inside one inch , on target within three seconds too... accommodates a can also. I like mine. I don't see anything surplus except perhaps the light.
TOO
ReplyDeleteThank you! My eyes were twitching.

ReplyDeleteIt's a Ruger mark (whatever). There is no "slide" There is, however, a rail on the top of the receiver tube. You can get various flavors of rail.
DeleteHuh. I just picked up this exact Ruger yesterday to host a suppressor. Now I'm pondering a red dot for it. Probably ditch the bottom rail.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of an old Crosman CO2 pistol with doodads.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'.

ReplyDeleteIt might have to be a straight blowback design, but it would be fun!
DeleteSome mall ninja got a hold of this one …
ReplyDeleteLike a pretty girl but she has tats and piercings all over.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the trigger is a full blown horror show. Has a magazine safety in the lockwork too. For now anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt do say tactical on the side. So there's that.
ReplyDeleteIt is in desperate need of a can.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a thread protector on the end of the barrel, so easy job. Not CA compliant, for that reason.

All that gear added to be accurate when needed.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a friggin .22 for God’s sake…!!
ReplyDeleteThat "friggin' .22" would be all the survival gun you'd need to stay well fed vs. any game up to small deer, for as long as ammunition held out.
DeleteGood things come in small packages.
And with a can, and an IR filter to work with a set of NVGs, you are now Death's quieter little brother.
If I could only have one gun, it would be a Mk 2
ReplyDeleteI have the one with the mag lockout and all that nanny garbage . better to get the older one without it.
