Ruger MK II silenced

[Classic12]

Saw this at the LGS over a year ago. However he told me it wasn’t ready for sale, he had to check function, price it etc.. Somehow I forgot about it, until it popped up on his shelves back in December. He told me my good shooting buddy, whom I introduced him to, reserved it and already paid for it. Bloody hell, talk about betrayal.

Now my buddy didn’t know you needed a special permit for it due to the silencer, and he didn’t want to deal with that, so he finally decided to pass and I bought it for $ 650.

RAID stands for Recherche, assistance, intervention, dissuasion (which I think does not need a translation). It’s an elite tactical unit of the French National Police

I’m pretty sure there’s no real connection to RAID, just a tribute.

I tested it a bit in the backyard, it’s very quiet

Very nice!
The attachment looks very different from what I've had experience with.

 

[Spats McGee]

Very cool!

That thing looks just plain cool. Very different attachment setup, as mentioned. Suppressing a .22 is rather fun. Isn't it odd and ironic that in Europe, can use is seen as a common courtesy, to reduce noise pollution. Here in the states its treated as a criminal act if not licensed into the dirt.

Very neat rig.

Be happy you are (with a permit) allowed to have a suppressor.. In Canada suppressors are prohibited... The only way to minimize noise is to use a 22 short.

Very cool pistol - the Ruger Mark-series make for excellent suppressor hosts in my experience.

That’s an interesting can attachment system. How is the front sight timed to line up correctly with the rear sight?

That's a pretty big can for a .22. I bet it is quiet!
