Default Gun show find w/pics (added range results)

Ok I know this is not a smith however I just completed a set(in my mind) and wanted to share. I just found a 10" Mark II in stainless! I owned the Rugers long before I could afford my model 41's.



Here is a family photo. Top is 10", Middle 6⅞", and Bottom 5½"

Thumbs up

Really nice find(!), especially since you had the others already.

My first firearm was a Ruger Mk I Target. I paid $87 for it in 1975 or '76.

With the price of reloading components these days, I wish I had a nice 22 target pistol.

A Model 41 would do me nicely.

That 10" model must be pretty barrel heavy, but I'd sure love to shoot one!

That's a nice collection of 22s there. Nothing against our favorite gun brand here, but I have always thought if you want a .22 you need to give a Ruger a chance. They are great pistols.

My Buddy has two of the 10" MKIIs & they shoot like a rifle..
He was lucky enought to score one just like yours a couple of gunshows back for $325..A Most excellent deal IMO..
You can't knock those Ruger MKI/MKII/MKIIIs, There cheaply priced & will shoot any ammo & are rugged..
Congrats on a Great "RARE" Find..

Nice pistols.

I have the 5.5" one at the bottom of your photo.

Mine has a ramped front sight with a flourescent green insert, BoMar rear sight and a Clark Custom trigger. I had all that done when it was new.

Shoots just like yours - real good.

I had a 10" blued model for decades.

Finally was offered enough incentive to let it go. I gave $85 used for it at a gun show in the mid 80s....amazing increase in value.
