MKIV 22/45 Target model confusion.

What is the difference between these 2? One is CA compliant. But I can't see a difference. The other one ends in PG What does PG represent? Thanks

First Ruger I've seen that requires parental guidance.

I’m not in the market/not interested enough to do the rest of the research and figure it out, but the Ruger website might be a helpful place to start, Good Luck!

Model 40107 page: https://ruger.com/products/markIV2245/specSheets/40107.html

Model 40187 page:

My totally clueless guess would be...That there's some form of extra, California mandated Mark III style safety features on the compliant model.

My guess is that the trigger pull on the regular model is around 4.5 pounds, and on the CA model it exceeds 8.0 pounds.

It means it passed the CA Compliant Testing. When they pass and are added to the list they are microstamped (microscopic codeing)

The MKIV did not need any modifications to pass...but needed to be microstamped.

My guess is that the trigger pull on the regular model is around 4.5 pounds, and on the CA model it exceeds 8.0 pounds.

They have a "drop test" requirement so that would be possible

I guess that's better than just the Pretty Good model.

"P" usually stands for black synthetic stock on a Ruger rifle, so PG is probably synthetic grip.

The spec pages on both guns are identical. Somehow one is CA compliant the other is not. It is a mystery. I think I ordered the PG one, at least I hope so. I don’t want any CA BS.

Thanks for the help.

Post #6 tells you what the difference is. Take it or leave it. Or just research it. Google is easy.
