Ruger 22/45 Lite Talo Edition
 

After wanting a lite since they were announced and finally seeing one in person, I just couldnt get passed the goldish anodizing. Recently the talo edition was released which is all black and while boring, looks better to me. I wasnt planning on buying another gun right now as Im trying to get my trust finalized and get some suppressors ordered but they only made 3000 of these and they are sold out almost everywhere. I ended up finding one on gilbertsguns and the price was right so since I tend to be very impulsive when it comes to toys, I ordered one. Im hoping to get to shoot it next weekend.

My initial impressions is that it is a nice gun and ought to be fun. It does feel very nose heavy even with a full mag. That will only get worse with the suppressor on it but its not like the gun is all that heavy anyway. Its definitely going to need some work on the mag release as the mag is hard to get in and out but the bushing ought to take care of that.

Planned mods are:
Hogue wrap around grips (#45000)
Bam bushing
Burris Fastfire III
Volquartsen target sear
Volquartsen hammer
Clark match trigger
Clark sear pin and hammer bushing kit
The compensator SGW makes
ZRTactical charging handle
Some extra mags and a lot of ammo, already have the ultimate clip loader coming in my midway order

On to the pictures

Eventually it will be wearing a Silencerco Sparrow

It'a a ltd. ed. sold out piece, & u knew that goin in, so u plan to mod it?!? :hmmm:

Did u buy it just for the gun as a platform?

Or lookin as an investment?

Got rid of the one i had, i hated taking it apart

Guns and cars are horrible investments, very few models ever give you a decent return on investment. I buy guns to shoot and vehicles to drive. No point in having thm if you're not going to use them. So yes it will be modded quite heavily, none of it won't be reversable though.
You needed this
Speed Strip Kit

Ive seen the speed strip kits before, i just decided if i want another 22lr pistol ill get another mkII.

They are easy to field strip.. ive cleaned mine a bunch.

also the easiest thing to do is remove the mag saftey crap.. it lets the mag drop free and easier to insert.

i replaced mine with two small washers :D

I ordered the hogue wrap around 1911 grips, a BAM bushing and a volquartsen target sear. Should last me for a while on it. I think Im going to get the lower notched part tapped for a small picatinny rail so I can mount my tlr1s on it. Ought to make for some fun night shooting once I get the suppressor.

My trust paperwork mailed today so the fun toys can be ordered here pretty quick phump

That gun looks kinda goofy.




Just sayin....

How do you like the volquartsen?

Eh, I've always been a function over form guy anyway. Ought to do just fine for what I want to do.
No idea, won't be here til the end of the week and won't get put in til sometime that following week once I get some time. Everyone seems to love it along with a match trigger. The trigger and fast fire will be my next mods but it'll be next year before I do that. Need to quit messing around and get my office line out to get some reloading equipment in there.
