[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 3105221, member: 35089"] Ruger Mark series pistols are the only guns i collect...meaning i buy them and hold onto them for no other purpose than i like them. Classic guns for sure, if you are talking about your first .22lr pistol then there is no reason to look elsewhere. Ruger literally built there business on the success of their first .22 pistol, the Ruger Standard. You cant go wrong with any of them but like mentioned above the newest version (mk4) was modified to simplify field stripping for cleaning...something they should have done years ago. the Mark 2 and earlier guns have the magazine release on the bottom of the grip to the rear of the mag, mark 3 and newer have a push button mag release similar to a 1911. The mark 3 is also the only ones to have a "chamber loaded" indicator that pops out...never bothered me but some people don't care for it. With everything listed above i would recommend the mark 4 over the others. I prefer the steel framed guns, virtually no recoil and true to their predecessors. The 22/45 lite (poly frame) i had was a great shooter as well though if you would prefer that style. [/QUOTE]
