(NYSE:\u00a0 RGR) is proud to introduce the Ruger 22\/45 Lite\u2122, a lightweight Ruger\u00ae 22\/45\u2122 pistol with a new aluminum upper receiver. Chambered in the popular .22 LR, the 22\/45 Lite\u2122 is accurate and reliable, making it the ideal lightweight rimfire pistol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 22\/45 Lite is an exciting new addition to the legendary 22\/45 line of pistols,\u201d said Ruger President and CEO Mike Fifer. \u201cIt maintains the superb accuracy and reliability of the classic 22\/45 pistols, but has a cool factor that can\u2019t be beat. It has a customized look without the customized price, and is exactly what our customers have been asking us to produce. The threaded barrel provides great accessory options and makes the 22\/45 Lite a perfect package right out of the box,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The Ruger 22\/45 Lite\u2122 upper receiver is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and features serrated cuts, giving the pistol a dramatic look and making it extremely lightweight at only 22.8 ounces.The 4.5-inch stainless steel barrel sleeve is held in place by a tension nut to ensure accuracy and features a factory \u00bd-28 thread to accept popular muzzle accessories. The receiver is finished in a striking gold anodize and is drilled and tapped forWeaver\u00ae-style scope base adapters (included free of charge) for easy mounting of optics. The comfortable, precision-molded Zytel\u00ae polymer grip frame features replaceable Hogue\u00ae black rubber grip panels that can be swapped out to customize the look of your 22\/45 Lite\u2122 pistol. The 22\/45 Lite\u2122 is the perfect outdoor companion and can be used for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting, or competitive shooting.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the new Ruger 22\/45 Lite\u2122, or to learn more about the extensive line of award winning Ruger firearms, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Ruger.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.Ruger.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Facebook.com\/Ruger\" target=\"_blank\">www.Facebook.com\/Ruger<\/a>.\u00a0 To find accessories for the Ruger 22\/45 Lite\u2122, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ShopRuger.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.ShopRuger.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>About Sturm, Ruger:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sturm, Ruger was founded in 1949 and is one of the nation\u2019s leading manufacturers of high-quality firearms for the commercial sporting market.
