RUGER 22 / 45 family of semi-automatic small-caliber pistols
At the end of the last century, another modification of a small caliber pistol .22 caliber company Ruger. The model is called the Ruger 22 / 45. Its grip is the same as that of the Colt M1911A1 pistol, and it is located at a 17-degree angle, all controls weapons is on the left side of the gun. The body of the weapon is made of modern synthetic materials. For use when shooting a silencer pistols fit perfectly as possible, since there is an ideal place to install it. Magazine capacity for the entire series of "Ruger 22 / 45" - 10 ammunition.
The frame of the Ruger 22 / 45 handle is manufactured by injection molding, the handle material is glass-filled “Zytel” nylon. Such nylon is not exposed to environmental influences, does not break, does not crumble and is not subject to delamination. Designers assure that the use of such nylon had a positive impact on the decrease in sound pressure. The latch of the store was transferred to all the control details of the shooting on the left side, on the standard “Ruger” it is located on the base of the handle frame. This design is more and more reminiscent of guns "M1911А1". The safety lever is made on the pistol exactly as on the colts, such is the location of the previous “Ruger” of the “Mark II” series. To open fire from a pistol, you just need to move the lever down. When the fuse blocks the bolt, the safety mechanism will also block the release lever, and when it is pressed, the hook will lock forward and the drummer will not be released. The release button - the shutter lag, has approximately the same location on the weapon as the shutter lever of the M1911А1 pistol. The last shot triggers a delay; a button made on the magazine causes the flat lever, made in the frame of the handle, to rotate upwards and hold the bolt in the rear end position. The trunk box for the “Ruger 22 / 45” is made from stainless seamless solid-wall pipes, the 400 stainless steel series, which are machined on high-precision machines. The resulting barrels have a .22 caliber and right-handed 6-accurate cutting, 16 pitch inches. Oxidized nickel chromium steel is used to create the gate. In the rear end of the bolt put the brand name. Reflected stainless steel reflector quality reinforced on the trunk box. Spring-loaded reflector consists of 2-x parts. Spring-loaded striker striker along the course is limited by a transverse execution rod, located perpendicular to the gate. On the guide rod is a spring return type, it is located above the gate.
The trigger handle of the whole Ruger 22 / 45 series of aluminum production with a grooved surface. Estimated effort on the trigger 3.5 pound, which provided a soft transition and easy descent. Some pistols come with silencers from Arms Tech Inc. Its length is 7.5 inches, and the total length of the pistol becomes equal to 13 inches, the mass of the pistol is slightly more than 2 pounds. The silencer is made of steel, series 304. Reflective partitions are made of aluminum alloys. The muffler has an adjustable front sight, adjustable rear sight with a square slot.
The shutter closure installed on the pistols used by the special forces is very simple and effective, the small turn of the contactor (10 degrees) and the bolt is blocked, the sound level of the pistol will decrease, and the spent case will not leave the weapon, which is necessary for non-standard operations. The corporate case “Safepacker”, special design for using the gun in non-standard conditions, is included in the kit of the pistol with a silencer. Cover material - Cordura nylon. In the case there is a pocket in which the knife “Spyderso Slipit Endura” of the production of the same “Arms Tech Inc” fits. This kit is called the "kit operative." A spare magazine can be worn in the same pocket, and with frequent use the pistol can be quickly removed from the case for its intended use.
