Precision rimfire semi-autos remain a top choice for range training and small-caliber defensive drills. A pistol that balances target-grade sighting with the practical touchpoints needed for repeatable accuracy can serve both the shooter focused on bullseye work and the shooter who values low-cost, low-recoil practice for defensive fundamentals.

RUGER 22/45 MARK III TARGET is built around a simple, proven platform and arrives ready for directed practice or optics-tuned work. This 22/45 Mark III Target features an adjustable rear sight, front blade sight, and an optional optic top rail. Purchase includes the original case and two 10-round magazines. Priced at $349.99, the pistol sits squarely in the value-to-performance sweet spot for a semi auto in this category.

Design and sighting that prioritize accuracy

The adjustable rear sight and front blade sight give the shooter immediate tools for elevation and windage corrections without needing an optic. The optional optic top rail allows quick installation of a red dot or low-power scope for faster target acquisition and improved shot-to-shot consistency. Those two 10-round magazines minimize reload interruptions during drills and make the pistol compliant with range restrictions where capacity limits apply.

Why the sight package matters

Adjustable iron sights are essential for serious rimfire work—allowing you to tune point of impact for different loads or to transition between iron and optic setups. The front blade sight preserves a clean sight picture for precision aiming, while the rail keeps options open for modern sighting solutions.
