Ruger has introduced a new edition to the legendary 22/45 line of pistols with the new 22/45 Lite Pistol. The Ruger 22/45 Lite pistol has a new aluminum upper receiver, chambered in the popular .22LR. The Ruger 22/45 is accurate and reliable, making it the ideal lightweight rimfire pistol.
The Ruger 22/45 Lite upper receiver is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and features serrated cuts, giving the pistol a dramatic look and making it extremely lightweight at only 22.8 ounces. The 4.4-inch stainless steel barrel sleeve is held in place by a tension nut to ensure accuracy and features a factory 1/2-28 thread to accept popular muzzle accessories. The receiver is finished in a striking gold anodize and is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style scope base adapters (included free of charge) for easy mounting of optics. The comfortable, precision-molded Zytel polymer grip frame features replaceable Hogue black rubber grip panels that can be swapped out to customize the look of your Ruger 22/45 Lite pistol. The Ruger 22/45 Lite is the perfect outdoor companion and can be used for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting, or competitive shooting. Get more information on the Ruger 22/45 Lite HERE.

old news, this was announced a long time ago
Although I'm a revolverguy, I do appreciate the concept of a lightweight .22 pistol -- most of the quality ones I've seen are in the 30-38 oz range. Ruger should do well with this.
