(NYSE-RGR) is excited to announce three new additions to the growing line of Mark IV\u2122 pistols: the Mark IV Tactical and two Mark IV Standard models. Since the launch of the Mark IV in 2016, this family of rimfire pistols has expanded to include 13 offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The Mark IV Tactical features a 4.40&#8243; barrel with a 1\/2&#8243;-28 thread pattern &#8211; perfect for the addition of the Silent-SR\u00ae. The pistol also is equipped with fully adjustable sights and factory-installed upper and lower Picatinny rails to allow for mounting of lights, lasers and other tactical accessories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Much like the popular Standard pistol that was the Company\u2019s flagship offering in 1949, the new Mark IV Standard model features a tapered barrel and a natural pointing grip angle. The Standard model is offered in both 4.75\u201d and 6\u201d barrel lengths with fixed sights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each of these new models features a one-piece, precision CNC-machined grip frame. Like all pistols in the Mark IV family, the Tactical and Standard models feature a simple, one-button takedown for quick and easy field-stripping, ambidextrous manual safety and a redesigned bolt stop for more ergonomic operation. The magazines drop free on release for faster reloads and a redesigned magazine disconnect prevents discharge when the magazine has been removed.<\/p>\n<p>Internal improvements include changes to the hammer, sear, bolt and firing pin for smoother, more reliable feeding. Mark IV pistols are compatible with a variety of Mark III aftermarket accessories including sights, scope bases and holsters.<\/p>\n<p>All models of the American-made Mark IV pistol ship with two, 10-round magazines.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39643\" style=\"width: 488px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruger.com\/products\/markIV\/overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39643\" class=\"wp-image-39643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RugerMarkIVlineup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RugerMarkIVlineup.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RugerMarkIVlineup-300x112.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-39643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark IV Rimfire Pistols.
