It’s been a while…

Dug one of my Ruger Mark I handguns out of the safe for a range trip last week. I always enjoy firing the Mark I and Mark II. The 6 7/8" heavy taper barrel models are a nice balance between weight and barrel length/sight radius for me.

Makes me want to take out something from the back of the safe!

Good lord, that's a pretty gun.

Thanks, I've had it for years. Need to get it out more often.

@aasbra , I have the same issue. And the same pleasure when I finally break one of them out. Mine are "just" Standards, but one of them is the first handgun I ever shot as a kid and is really special to me (right in photo). It's also so damn accurate I never needed another 22 pistol. But when I found a good deal on it's near twin, I couldn't pass it up.

Good looking pair you have there! The old Ruger Mark series are good guns. I remember being surprised how accurate the first one I fired years ago was. It was a Mark II with the standard, 4.75" pencil barrel. No longer have that one, but quite a few more have taken its place. And I get what you are saying about not being able to pass up twins or near twins. I have a soft spot for the Mark I and Mark II pistols…and I enjoy them all.
