The Ruger Mark IV is a testament to the evolution of classic design, merging tradition with modern innovation. This firearm retains the iconic aesthetic of its predecessor, the Mark III, while introducing a revolutionary one-button takedown system. A recessed button at the rear of the frame enables effortless field stripping—allowing you to separate the upper receiver from the grip frame without tools.
This model features a precision CNC-machined one-piece grip frame crafted from aluminum alloy, ensuring durability and lightweight handling. The ambidextrous manual safety caters to both right- and left-handed shooters, enhancing operational ease alongside a redesigned bolt stop for improved ergonomics.
Reloads are swift with magazines that drop free upon release. Safety is paramount; thus, this pistol includes an innovative magazine disconnect safety mechanism preventing discharge when no magazine is present. Internally, enhancements to components such as the hammer, sear, bolt, and firing pin contribute to smoother operation and reliable feeding.
The hallmark feature across all models remains unchanged: a robust one-piece barreled receiver paired with internal cylindrical bolt construction delivers superior sight-to-barrel alignment for increased accuracy over traditional moving-slide designs.
