New Ruger Mark IV autoloader...

[SeriousStudent]

Dear nice people in Prescott,

Be sure and introduce one with a threaded barrel for all us deplorables with suppressors.

Thanks muchly,

Serious

Nice. Needs more threaded barrel, which were all TALO models in the Mark III series if I'm not mistaken. I hope this design carries over to the 22/45 models as well.

That looks to be an improvement on the Mark III. If the magazine safety is not present (which Tamara's text says is true)

I amended that.

Mag safety is still there, but doesn't really matter anymore, since the takedown/reassembly is simplified and the mags eject with enough force to make major.

Actually, on a gun that will see a lot of use by kids and other n00bs, I kinda like a mag safety.

Looks like they changed everything but the overall silhouette.
Is the backstrap solid?

Yes.

I got rid of my Mark III because it generally sucked; it choked far more often on a wider variety of ammo than my 10/22's and was a pain to take down. I sold it, bought my M&P22 and didn't look back. This appears to be a gamechanger. Assuming there's a 22/45 version coming... I'm buying one.

Thanks. I was looking at the Ruger and Browning .22 auto loaders at my lgs this evening. I'll wait for these to show up.

Rats. And I just bought a 22/45.

Hmmmm

I killed so many muskrats with a Mk II I think Ruger should make a special edition in my honor....

Just need a threaded barrel model and the inevitable recall out if the way.

Is the S/N on the barrel or grip frame?
