    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.

    Three might be a better option....

    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

    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 !

    Ruger® is proud to introduce the Ruger 22/45 Lite™, a lightweight Ruger® 22/45™ pistol with a new aluminum upper receiver. Chambered in the popular .22 LR, the Ruger 22/45 Lite™ is accurate and reliable, making it the ideal lightweight rimfire pistol.

    The Ruger 22/45 Lite™ 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 4.4-inch stainless steel barrel sleeve is held in place by a tension nut to ensure accuracy and features a factory ˝-28 thread to accept popular muzzle accessories. The receiver is finished in a striking gold anodize and is drilled and tapped for Weaver®-style scope base adapters (included free of charge) for easy mounting of optics. The comfortable, precision-molded Zytel® polymer grip frame features replaceable Hogue® black rubber grip panels that can be swapped out to customize the look of your Ruger 22/45 Lite™ pistol. The Ruger 22/45 Lite™ is the perfect outdoor companion and can be used for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting, or competitive shooting.
    For more information on the new Ruger 22/45 Lite™, or to learn more about the extensive, award-winning line of Ruger® firearms, visit Ruger.com or Facebook.com/Ruger. To find accessories for the Ruger 22/45 Lite™ visit ShopRuger.com.

    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.
