Ruger Mark IV Competition .22 LR Stainless/Silver Pistol

A: All Mark IV™ pistols produced prior to June 1, 2017 are potentially affected and therefore are being recalled. This includes Mark IV™ Target, Hunter, Competition, 22/45™, 22/45™ Lite and 22/45™ Tactical models. These models bear serial numbers beginning with "401" (2017 models) or "WBR" (2016 models). - Firearms NOT subject to the Recall Newly manufactured Mark IV™ pistols will begin with serial number "500." Thus, if you have a Mark IV™ or 22/45™ pistol with a serial number beginning with the number "5," your pistol is not subject to the recall. You will need to contact Buds Customer Service 859-368-0371 M-F 9am-9pm to inquire about serial number range.

A: Buds stock is not affected by this recall. I have confirmed this with Julia via live chat.

A: It is drilled and tap so with the right mount, you could get a red dot on it.

A: Hi Bruce, yes this pistol is drilled and tapped for a mount (Scope or Red Dot). : https://www.google.com/search?biw=1280&bih=620&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=ruger+mark+4+competition+red+dot&oq=ruger+mark+4+competition+red+dot&gs_l=psy-ab.3...38279.44412.0.45295.12.12.0.0.0.0.255.1486.4j6j2.12.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.2.359...0i13k1.3FS-aqwR_4c#imgrc=_

A: Hi J.C It wouldn't be legal as competition but it could be done.

A: I've been looking at both models and it looks like the grips should fit.

A: Yes, the same grips will fit all variations of the MkIV including the Target, Hunter and Competition. They will not, of course, fit any of the MkIV 22/45 variations.

A: All the MK IV grips will fit

A: Jeff, this pistol has a measured average trigger pull of 4.5lbs (which does not belong on a Competition Pistol). I highly recommend the Volquartsen Trigger Upgrade for the Competition Model here. ---- https://volquartsen.com/products/1231-accurizing-kit-for-the-ruger-mk-iv-pistol

A: mine was right at 4.2 lbs removing the mag disconnector will make it a little lighter and crisper

A: Jeff, What ever the weight it is not a very good trigger. My entire trigger mechanism has a lot of rough edges. No where near a 3 lb pull and definitely not too smooth. Jame's suggestion of the Volquartsen Trigger Upgrade is highly recommended and very common upgrade with this firearm.
