I have a 22/45 Lite and like the new model except for the mandatory lightening holes. Aside from those being hideous dirt magnets, how light does a synthetic and aluminum .22 pistol need to be??? I could even live with the copper color (I own a smurf Beretta for god's sake), but those holes, ugh.
I like Rugers and own a number of them . . . but no thanks on this one. I'll stick to my MIII Target and if I get another one, it will be the traditional one like Texas45 shows. Maybe Ruger is aiming for the youngsters but to me, it looks like a pro off a SciFi movie.
good lord people. it's the 22/45 lite. they've always been ugly and every year they come out with a different lightening cut pattern and set of colors. they are still going to have the standard profile barrels and colors available after they work out tooling.
