It didn't take me long after I started shooting regularly to desire a .22 caliber handgun for cheap practice. At around 3¢ a round, it's much cheaper to shoot .22 than, say, 50¢ factory .44 S&W Special. Also, the light recoil and good accuracy of the Mark II makes it a good gun for introducing friends to the sport. The slide is also easier to pull back than with larger pistols such as my .40 Tactical, which at least one woman friend of mine has found difficult to operate. These .22 pistols are also relatively inexpensive to purchase (I picked this one up for under $300, plus taxes and fees).
Unlike my .40 Tactical, the Mark II can be fired with the magazine removed. This is to support single-shot target shooting At this writing, I haven't done anything to the gun except replace the plastic grip panels with thicker wooden ones I picked up at a gun show. I'll replace the trigger with a Volquartsen or Clark set-up after I shoot the gun a bit more. As you will be able to tell as you start reading about my guns, I much prefer stainless steel. |
