I'm looking for a solution to my finger biting Mk IV that doesn't involve grinding down the trigger. The trigger's sharp rear edge snags the skin on my trigger finger just behind the first joint. Shifting my finger pad position helps but too often I relapse into my natural grip and get bit...

Might be worth a try. It's little more than a thin plastic shell so either melting or just cutting out a section might work. I only need the case when transporting to-from the range, anyway so if I were to trash it completely that would be no big loss.

The last time I went to the range I spent the time bench zeroing the Venom Vortex on my Mk IV 22/45 and was content when I got it down to consistent 1" circle at 10-12 yds. So today imagine how oncerned I was when the first rounds I fired were hitting mostly low and left by 2-3 inches, and...

I agree about the "boxes", however, the Mk IV comes in a plastic carrying case rather than a cardboard box. All it needs is some foam in place of the plastic insert to make it effectively the same as a case you'd buy off the shelf.

I recently bought a new Mk IV 22/45 and while I like the gun, I'm not impressed with the case liner. It's rather flimsy, thin, shaped plastic and does not accommodate any changes to the pistol. Namely, I've added a optical sight and now I can no longer put the pistol into tthat case. I'm...

My response may be a little late but I just picked up my new Mk IV 22/45 Lite about a week ago and took it to the range for the first time yesterday. It's a fantastic shooter but you're right, that little sucker bites the hand that fires it. I could defeat that by backing my finger out a bit...

Picked up my new Mk IV last week and will be taking it to the range today for the first time. I will eventually mount an RDS on this pistol, most likely a Venom Vortex. Not looking for debates about irons vs optics but I would like input as to the pros and cons of mounting an RDS using the...

Just watched a video on YT where it was mentioned that those holes are standard on the 584 model so they aren't discontinued. I also took a look at the Ruger web site where they have pictures showing some with and some without those holes when you expand the section dealing with integral scope...

If you examine the pictures for this particular problem you'll notice that the "wear and tear" here is not caused by using the slide catch lever to release the slide. The main damage is being caused by the slide impacting the catch lever and causing a dent or dimple in the slide. There is...

Did you, by chance, replace the recoil guide spring in yours before noticing this damage? I installed the captive rod from TandemKross in mine and I've been wondering if that might be part of the problem.

While cleaning my SR22 after an recent range visit I noticed some wear/damage starting to appear on the slide. There is a "dimple" forming at the aft end of the area where the slide catch lever rests when the slide is locked open, and evidence of the slide catch rubbing along the bottom (photos...

I just mounted a Vortex Venom RDS on my Ruger SR22 using the mounting plate from Gallway Precision. Sadly, on my first trip to the range with this I was unable to vertically zero the sight. At full UP adjustment my POI remains about 4-6" low. I can visually detect a very slight upward cant at...
