Handguns Descriptions

Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite

 Ruger's Mark IV Lite features a vented receiver made of aerospace-grade aluminum, comfortable, precision-molded polymer grips with a serrated frontstrap and checkered backstrap, and checkered, 1911-style grip panels for a great appearance and comfortable, non-slip hold. This model also features an adjustable rear sight, factory-installed Picatinny rail, and an ambidextrous manual safety. It is also designed with simple, one-button take-down. Additional Features: Threaded (1/2"-28) 5.5-inch barrel Two 10-round magazines One-Piece Machined Grip Frame Ergonomic Bolt Stop  

Ruger Security 9

Compact for easy concealment, the mid-sized Security-9 is designed to fit a variety of available holsters and concealed carry options. Rugged construction with blued, through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel and high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame. Precision machined, hard coated aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails. The Secure Action used in the LCP II and Security-9 is derived from the reliable and proven hammer-fired LCP fire control system. The Secure Action combines the smooth trigger pull of the LCP with the short, crisp feel and positive reset of a single action. Textured grip frame provides a secure and comfortable grip. Dovetailed, high-visibility sight system with drift adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. Sights can be easily changed out for different color options (available separately). Internal, Secure Action hammer provides strong ignition force yet allows for easier slide racking when compared with many striker-fired pistols. Front cocking serrations enable positive slide manipulation. Safety features include bladed trigger safety; manual safety; neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. Safe, easy takedown with no special tools or trigger pull. Also includes: two alloy steel magazines.
