This looks more interesting than the SR22. It would be neat if a small sized one could be engineered:

I might have to get one of these for my kids, but I wouldn't trade it in for an all-steel Mark III. With all of these new products released, It seems like Ruger wants to remain the go-to gun in .22LR, but maybe the Mark IIIs are too costly for them to keep producing.

 

I like those Hogue grips. I wonder if I can get one with a dark green or blue top?

Oooooooooooooohhh!!! I like that. Would be a good one for my kid to shoot! And, me too. Any idea when it'll be introduced?

Looks like Ruger is trying to get some biz from the makers of the Tac-sol uppers.http://www.tacticalsol.com/tshome/tactical-solutions-pac-lite-barrel-upgrade-for-the-ruger-2245-and-mk-series-pistols

 

If the price is right, I'd go for one

I don't think its cost. More likely, Ruger is monitoring the huge aftermatket for "hot rod" 22s and has realized they're leaving money on the table by not selling gold plated, serrated, window cut slides with silver triggers and threaded barrels with compensators and on and on and on...

 

I guess it's kinda cool, but I like the flat-black bull barrel on my 22/45.

I like the look of the original 22/45 more than the 22/45 lite. Instead of creating a new gun, they could've sold the barrels by themselves.

There really isn't any value to this unless it is much lighter, at least as dependable, and easier to break down and clean.

 

How does it break down?

There's a small hitch with that... In the ruger mk series guns, the *barrel/upper* Is the registered firearm so it makes it a bit more difficult to sell barrels.

Have you tried the new sr22?? My buddy just bought one and between the polymer frame and the aluminum barrel, its as light add it could be. Even if you scaled the 2245 lite down 20% I doubt it would be quite as light as the sr22 since its only a sleeved barrel and with the small grip size of the sr22,, it would be perfect for your kids!

If Tactical Solutions does it, why can't Ruger? It's not much different than having to get an AR lower through an FFL since that's the "firearm".

I'm not saying you can't, I'm just saying that due to the fact that its the firearm, they don't sell as much paclite ruger barrels as they sell buckmark barrels due to the added nuisance of being a whole new handgun so I imagine that ruger would likely face the same slow sales
