Ruger 22/45 Lite Anthology

[wayupnorth]

have you gotten any of the new Mk IV's yet WUN?

Negative.
I have not even seen one yet.
every time i hit the stores there are none in stock.
with the price of them ill stick with my plain old Gen 1 Golden Gun!

I have updated my Lite collection and now have all the regular production Lites to date. (I'm not interested in Distributor Exclusives-Blems-Limited Editions)

the top 5 are MKIII's and the bottom 2 are MKIV's

3903 is my fav. But I do like that black MKIV with the drilled ports. Looks good!

 

[wayupnorth]

damn it man you need to get at least one red one!!!

 

[wayupnorth]

im old school.
i went with the original offering and than just accessorized it and had the internals swapped out.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

being stock, do you find much difference in the way they shoot? does the form have an effect on the function?

 

[Mr. Friendly]

also, if anyone happens to have both the 3906 and the 43906, would you be up to snapping some side by side comparison shots?

I had the 6906, my second fav pistol, next to the Browning 1911-22.

Original post updated with the 4 new offerings from Ruger for the Dec 2018 line up.
Currently 10 models for sale listed on their webpage out of the 23 ever put out of the last 6 years.
only 1 of the 11 new MK4 ones are not listed for sale anymore and that is the Burnt Bronze (Orange) one.

I need one of these. Who has the most selection?

 

[rws53]

my Lite collection updated...consisting of the general release Lites...I'm not interested in the Distributor Exclusives or limited productions. I also passed on the 43817 model as it has the same appearance as the 43918 model less bbl threading under the muzzle cap.

I'm adding the 3 new releases soon....Model #'s 43921, 43926 and 43927

they seem to be hard to find up here in Canada.
no one seems to stock them and when they do they usually one have one, whichever is the current release one.

 

[rws53]

added the new release models 43926 and 43927 to my collection

I always wanted one of those frickin’ laser guns in blue. But I’ve always talked myself out of it and reallocated the funds to another piece.

 

[rws53]

You all noticed the completely new target sights that are shipping on the latest release Lites right? And it looks like on the latest Target model too.

nice large serrated blade and serrated front sight

Ruger Square Notch Target Sight Can now be ordered on ShopRuger or from a Canadian Distributor to upgrade your MKIII and MKIV decades old style sight.

Thanks for the fun .WAYUPNORTH.like most of your treads,
Did realize the gold ones where the first year of production,
Heading out to the garage to look at serial #.
Not a user friendly pistol to take down and clean..
Accurate with the barrel "sleve" ,????? sure makes it light.
My 22/45, likes federal bulk pack, weird..

Very cool!

I've got a '3903'.

they stopped production of the 3908 like 3 1/2 years ago and are not even making that same Gen of pistol anymore.
i would guess the chances of finding one BNIB would be slightly south of 1%.
you might find one at some little mom and pop gun store tucked away in a safe but those places usually dont have a internet presence so searching for it and them would be next to impossible.
you could find out who the Ruger Distributor is and call them and ask if any where brought into Canada and shipped out to stores and which stores got them, then call those stores.
sounds like a lot but ive done exactly that for stuff ive wanted in the past.
