I've got the stainless steel version, the 2206, and I love it. I had a Ruger Mk. II, but it didn't compare with the 2206. It's extremely accurate, and I love the magazine release. What a great idea that was. Ugly, well yes, but the way it shoots, who cares? I wish they still made the 12 round magazines. Everyone who shoots it loves it, too. They all want to know where they can get one. Too bad Smith dropped them.
