No other .22 LR pistol provides the feel of the classic 1911 pistol with the proven reliability and value of the Ruger® 22/45™ pistols. The perfect trainer, it allows for low-cost practice and provides shooters with the familiar and preferred grip shape and feel of the famous 1911 .45 caliber pistol.
In addition to the identical grip angles, the 22/45 features the same fire control locations (manual safeties, magazine releases and bolt hold-opens) as the 1911, making them perfect for .45 caliber shooters looking for an affordable way to train. Also perfect for plinking, target shooting, and small game hunting, the 22/45 is available in a variety of configurations and barrel lengths, each with the same trusted reliability that Ruger has delivered since 1949.
I just recently bought two of these for a NRA basic pistol class I am teaching. I did receive them very quickly from Sportsmans Outdoor, I look forward to doing more business with them.
I had not shot a 22 in literally 30+ years. I took them to the range after doing an initial cleaning and inspection. All I can say is WOW. Right out of the box they both are very accurate and identically sighted in nicely. I shot 5 rounds out of each of the 4 mags @ 7 yards I got a hole that would fit under a quarter. At 40+ feet I was able to do a 2 1/2 group. The guns truly do shoot better than I do.
I will be back for more when my class grows.
Thanks Ruger, and thanks for the great deal Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore.

I was going to buy this gun at Buds Gun Shop but they tried to charge $100.00 more. My first purchase from this site and it was smooth and fast. The gun is amazingly accurate and I could not stop shooting it. Never had problem with the ammo and I had people asking me what I was shooting. This is one gun I will never sell or trade. I ordered a fiber optic sight and I can't wait to get it.
I ordered my Ruger 22/45 MkIII which is my first ever .22LR pistol from Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore because their pricing was very competitive, especially when factoring in the shipping savings. Ive only had the pistol at range one time so far but it does exactly what its supposed to do, accurate, reliable and is an excellent value. I am quite happy with the gun and with my buying experience from Sportsmans Outdoor as well.
