Been wanting to upgrade my old Ruger MK 1 pistol for quite a while. The 6" bull barrel, while steady, and great for beating things to death when you run out of rounds, is damned heavy.

Bought a .22LR suppressor a few months back for the boy's 10/22 and the stamp for it should be showing up any day now, so I thought it would be nice to have a companion to swap the suppressor onto whenever the need was there.

The solution was a Tactical Solutions PacLite upper for the Ruger pistol.



Installation took a little bit, as it was very snug, and those MK 1 pistols are buggers to work on, but after about 5 minutes we had it on, function tested, and ran a few rounds through it.

For grins and giggles we attached the 1/2x28 suppressor mount to the barrel, and then a big can.



The can and mount weigh about 5 ounces more than the pistol. Just a bit front heavy. The new can should change that, as it only weighs about 6 oz.

With CCI quiets, it is a kick, and they cycle.
