The Ruger Charger pistol with a synthetic stock and an 8-inch threaded barrel (brand part no. 04938) chambers .22 LR in a long-barreled pistol platform built for optic-mounted precision shooting. Ruger threads the muzzle 1/2-28 for suppressor use, and a full-length Picatinny rail spans the receiver for scope or red dot mounting. A 15-round magazine ships included, and a manual safety adds a layer of control. At over 23 inches overall, the Charger’s 8-inch barrel and rail system favor precision plinking and small-game hunting over concealed carry. Among long-barrel semi-auto handguns, this Charger configuration favors shooters who want a scoped .22 LR pistol platform.
