Because of my friend, I now own a Ruger Mk II. Not sure if this is standard but it has a bull barrel. We were at Big Boys range, he went into the store to look for some ammo. He came back all big eyed(at his age, I thought he may have had some movement downstairs) and excited. Told me there was a heck of a deal on this MkII. I went and looked and sure enough there it was. $270 later, I am the proud owner. Thanks Joel.
