You just don't quit. This will fit nicely in the front pouch of my 10/22 takedown case.
No need to buy a Tactical Solutions upper anymore.

Yet they aren't taking any more ordersNo one can get one of these new pistols until tentatively end of may !! (yeah right, i'm sure they're available already!)

I told him to let me know how much, how many and when.
Better writeup...
Ruger 22/45 Lite Mark III – New Gun Review

One question, seeing as it comes with a threaded barrel, does that keep it from being NY compliant?
No, since it only has one "evil" feature.
“Assault weapon” is defined as:
A semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following characteristics
an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip
a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer
shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned
manufactured weight of fifty ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded
I think I may have found my first .22 pistol! Got the email on it yesterday and would love to see it in person!
Member NRA, GSSF,GOA, NYSRPA, S.C.O.P.E.
I should get my pistol permit huh??? My tan line doesn't count as a permit does it??
Well, maybe I spoke too soon. I just spoke with my dealer. He is down at the NRA convention and fondled the Ruger today. He is hoping to get a chance to shoot it tomorrow.
He is being told that they are coming out with a NY compliant version in a few weeks. Without the threaded barrel I believe. Apparently, there is a barrel inside the shroud, so it would have two strikes as is.
Stay tuned. He is supposed to report in if he gets to shoot it.
here is the product spot light. I'm not sure if this would actually be considered a schrouded barrel according to the complete definition listed above but who knows, given this is NY. I'll just wait until all the excitement dies down and pick one up then !

I agree. I think it's bs to call it a shroud, but apparently they are. Here's a pic they sent me from the NRA Convention...

Yeah, thats nothing more than a sleeved barrel. I wouldn't think that could be considered a shroud by any strech.
