Ruger mark 4/2245

Great charging handle for Mark4/2245. Great price, perfect fit, and looks good with plastic frame and grip panels.

Why did nobody think of this until now?

I love these little guys. They are so easy to install and blend right in with the pistol. I hope they come out with a matte silver device. Sure saves your fingertips from getting beat up on a long range day. Two minute install and you're good to go. I've already ordered more. Cheers!

Mark IV Hunter

Got this for my Mark IV Hunter and it fit perfectly. Does not fit Mark I or Original Standard though due to straight cut bolt grip vs the tapered on on newer models.

Great Product, reasonable cost

I like the Ruger 22/45, but got pinched first time. Not huge like the halos makes it easy to charge.

Bolt handle assist

This fits the Mark IV 22/45 perfectly. Don’t like the big Halo handles but not thrilled getting my fingers pinched with the stock handle either. This is a great solution!
