If you own a Ruger® .22 Auto Pistol, you'll love this tool! This device was designed to ease the disassembly of the popular Ruger® MKI™ - MKIII™ and 22/45™ .22 Semi- Automatic Pistols. Various features of the Pistol Pal makes opening the takedown latch a snap, serve as a punch to drive out tight stubborn bolt stops and also has a self-contained tool for removing that pesky extractor! It even serves as a magazine loading assistant on MKIII™ magazines.

Sized to fit your shooting box, or in your pocket. This excellent tool was designed and is manufactured by a professional gunsmith on modern CNC machine tools. The body/punch is CNC machined from rugged, non-marring Delrin which is already used for many firearm applications today. The latch pull loop is heavy duty, braided stainless steel wire. Both the loop and tempered steel extractor tool are affixed to an Aluminum cap that screws into the top of the tool.

The "Pistol Pal" extractor tool also works great for the new Ruger® MKIV™ and MKIV™ 22/45™ pistols, to remove the extractor for changing to an aftermarket extractor and for cleaning.

Stop struggling with takedown and cleaning and order your "Pistol Pal" today!

One Purchase You'll NEVER REGRET!

Protect your $400 investment with a $14 Gunsmither Pistol Pal and end your frustration. One 'oops' on a mainspring housing removal and that scarred back strap (especially the 22/45) will forever remind you that you should have had your Pal. The BEST tool for extractor removal I've seen in 40 years with MK's & 22/45's. A marvel of engineering simplicity and the best first accessory for your Ruger, hence the name. Get a Pal & stop your cussing. Be a pal & buy one for a friend.

This is a handy dandy tool for the Ruger MKI/II/III and 22/45. It works great in helping take down your Ruger semi-auto pistol. Before I found this tool, it was apparent that Ruger didn't care enough about their customers to properly offer them the necessary tools to care for their firearms.

Wish I had this tool years ago. Perfect for disassembling my 22/45 & depressing springs when installing TandemKross components.

A Pal Indeed

Posted by Raymond Gutierrez on 22nd May 2015

I ordered the pistol pal and it was a tremendous help both in disassembling my 22/45 and installing the Eagle's Talon. I use it every time I remove the spring assembly.

Pistol Pal

This is a great time saver. Works as advertised and is a real help in breaking all my Ruger 22/45 and MK III 3s. If you own one of these guns get one of these tools. Makes any service work on these Rugers easier and faster. I wish I had one of these tools years ago. For what it costs, the time and effort saved is well worth the price. The tool is well made and seems to hold up to the rigors of bench or range use.
