 Ruger Mk IV 22/45 Lite. Lobos mount with Holosun 507c, Volquartsen trigger and action kit, Tandemkross safety and Halo charging ring, TacSol comp. This pistol was supposed to be my introduction to optics on a pistol. It’s ended up being the only pistol that goes with me on EVERY range trip. |

One of those on a Steel Challenge course sounds like real fun.
... or just with some steel in the back yard.

This is not the first 22/45 I have built up. A long time ago I was shooting a TON of competition with my CZ Shadow. USPSA, IDPA, 3 Gun, Steel Challenge. My (now ex) wife and I had been competitive shooters in Sporting Clays for a long time. To try to give us something to do together again, I built her a Steel Challenge Mk III 22/45 with a 90 degree C-more and a full Volquartsen kit. I only shot it a few times before the divorce. It is the only gun she took that I actually miss.  |

Shooting 22 with a can is addicting.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 59Bassman: I’m at 6 months on a Rugged Oculus, believe me, I’m trying! Make your next 22 can the lightest can you can find. The Oculus is almost 7 oz, try that against a 3 oz can and you'll see what I mean. This comes from having a 6 oz mask and a 3 oz CGS Siren (carbon fiber). HUGE difference, otherwise my Mark IV 22 is also one of my most fun 22s. As a comparison the Scythe (30 cal suppressor is 7.3 oz, the Warlock 22 suppressor is 3 oz. |

"Better" for one guy isn't necessarily "better" for all. Lighter isn't always better. I've shot my 22/45 Lite with both the 6oz Mask and the 4oz E2 and I prefer the Mask. The Lite's are too light and need the extra weight IMO. That's why so many put muzzle brakes on the end of them (for the added weight). |

Rugged Occulus approved yesterday. Picked it up and tried it this morning. I have never had the opportunity to use a suppressor before. First trigger pull and I thought I had not seated the mag to charge a round. Then I pulled the trigger again and saw the action move. Dang this is fun!

I shoot in areas where full volume 22lr draws Karen's and I love not wearing ears. my moded mk4 is always close and the only time the can stays home is if I have to pass thru illannoy |

That actually made me laugh out loud. In 15 years of shooting together, I don’t think she ever learned how to field strip a single one of her firearms.
