Ruger Mark IV 22/45
Best lightweight rimfire pistol for target practice and training sessions.
This is the gold standard for rimfire target shooting, blending the familiar ergonomics of a classic 1911 with modern, reliable engineering. It’s incredibly easy to handle and customize, though you sacrifice the heft and recoil of a larger caliber for pure, repeatable accuracy.
