Harry what I've read about Rugers 'standard' .22 is that it was loosly patterned after the WW2 Japanese Nambu which has similar profile of the Luger



Aha! The plot thickens.

All the Ruger .22LR semi-auto pistols I've shot, maybe seven of them,
have been nice shooters, decent triggers, accurate, and no problems
firing even El Cheapo ammo.

You're right Harry. They're a good quality gun in their respective price range. Not for everyone, but still...

Btw. There was a version of the Mark series with a built in silencer made for use by the Navy Seals...

They make the same basic gun and call it a compensator.

Ruger offers a couple of models of its .22LR pistol with a threaded
barrel to make attachment of a silencer simple.
