I agree.Move on this critter as fast as you can..
guess it comes down to what felt better in your hand?
I got 22/45, because I could not like regular grip angle on mark iv.
The one big advantage to the MK's is the after market. Now of course many never care and will never buy anything. So for them it will of course not matter which. The LITE is very light. I can often shoot a little better with my old MKII that's steel and has a 5.5 tube when using the irons. Probably due to the weight and added sight radius. My person favorite is the LITE, Wife prefers the longer heavier MKII. So it's going to be a to each his own of course. Wife is still looking to buy one of the new MKIV's with a 10 inch tube. Not sure it will do much for me but what the hell. If it gets her to the range more it's fine with me
Now that I found out the MKIV mags fit that old MKII I ordered some more MKIV mags. Will not have to keep track of the damn mags and make sure I don't end up at the range with the wrong mags.
I bought a 22/45 lite a few weeks ago in anticipation of the arrival of a suppressor. I've been extremely happy with it, it's my third Ruger 22/45. I also held the 22/45 tactical model, looks about identical to the lite but with a solid barrel making it heavier. You cannot go wrong with Ruger in my humble opinion.
Very good chance I'm headed to La Grande next Thursday for a couple days. I'll bring it for you to try.
Yes, still have itExcellent Kyle!! You still got my contact info?
There's a few of these around too. S&W .22 Victory. Most don't have a rail, this a a competition model with a carbon barrel. Grip looks funky to me. Any additional thoughts?

Good guns. Pay attention to how hard or easy it is to load the magazines. I forget how the Ruger and Smith are.If you haven't already, check out "22 Plinkster's" YouTube channel. He's got good reviews up of the Ruger, BuckMark, and the Victory. He liked the Victory a whole lot...at least that was back when it first came out.
I got a lite .For target I'd stay away from the Ruger Lite. I bought it for carry on the property however found myself using one of my edc's instead of a .22. A different set of grips may help me to stabilize it but...
Thats another plus for Buckmark, the serial is on the frame rather than the bbl so its easy to swap out the bbl.I have a Buckmark, swapped out the barrel for a tactical solutions barrel and put a Sparrow suppressor on it. Possibly one of my favorite pistols. Shoots lights out.

I've got a super light 4" S&W 422 that's mechanically very accurate, I really like that pistol, but my heavyish Nomad just pretty much shoots itself offhand.. it's easy to do apple sized 3 second 10 shot strings at 50' all day long.
