Ruger Mk I / Mk II / Mk III Pistol
The Ruger Mk I-III series of pistols are affordable .22 LR semiautomatic handguns developed by the Sturm, Ruger & Company in the years after World War II. The Mk I was Ruger's flagship handgun of the time, designed to penetrate the sports and recreational shooter market. Although bearing a strong resemblance to the German Luger P08 in layout and general appearance, the pistol is actually based upon a scaled down version of the Japanese Nambu Type 14. The original Ruger Mk I (with tapered barrel) was in continuous production from 1949-1982. The heavy barreled Ruger Mk I Match was in production from 1951-1982. Each model of Ruger Pistol stopped production within one year of the introduction of the next generation of pistol. The Ruger Mk II was in production from 1982 to 2005. The Ruger Mk III has been in production since 2004 and is still in production today.
