I have the little Ruger you ask about. had it about 4 years now and it has yet to disappoint in the performance dept. Like Stick said the mag safety is a bit silly to say the least(gunsmith said he would fix that for me). The relocated mag release is a nice touch. And, I dont really care for the fiber optic sights. It does come drilled for bases and I have a rail mounted with a Burris Fast Fire on top. Shoots great like that. Just for the hell of it I mounted my Buris 2-7x pistol scope on it and was pleasantly surprised. I have shot the MK II's but not owned one. I was unable to hold one in higher regards than the other but like I said, my experience with the mkII's is limited. I can only shoot jacketed ammo with reliability and CCI's are the best I have come across. Still want to try out a few others. Found a picture of mine when I had the scope on it.

looks a little silly but I could shoot the wings off a fly with it. Hell, I could even curve the bullet.


Stick, have you had any luck shooting the non-jacketed ammo in the MKII's?
