Looking for opinions on the Ruger 22/45 Lite fluted anodized model

[randyhub]

Well have been doing some research on a cheaper alternative to my 9mm pistol and have short listed the 22/45 as it is around the 500.00 mark and I really miss my old MK2.

So looking for opinions from 22/45 owners on how these are for shooting and if they are robust.

I am not worried about field stripping them more worried about accuracy and being reliable.

Thanks
Randy

It is a very light weight and cool looking gun. Tons of fun to shoot.
The action is robust just like any other 22/45 with a little bit more recoil due to its weight.
Mine is very accurate and it is joy to shoot.

I havent tried the Lite model, but I ran a 2245 Stainless bull barrel for 6+ years. Never been more happier with a pistol.

i picked up the gold one when they first came out with the Lite version and i still have it today.
nice and light gun and very nice too shoot.
ive had no problems with mine at all.
i did replace the stock irons with fiber optics and of course run a red dot on it, and i put some nice squishy Hogue grips on it.

very nice gun, one of my favorites.
and its a sweet looking gun as well.

im constantly caught between it and my Browning Buckmark, they are both great but for different reasons.
