I know, because I had one, but sold it to buy a model with a shorter barrel, this one, actually: http://www.ruger.com/products/markII...ets/10101.html The longer barrel does improve sight radius slightly, but it adds unnecessary weight and size, and if you are going to mount a red dot on it, is just a waste. The fancy grips add nothing to shootability. The Mark III I now have was sent off to Volquartsen for the full treatment, including barrel threading, so it can accommodate my silencer. It's a great shooter. |
