You be sure to let us know when Glock makes a .22 target/hunting pistol.

I have lots of handguns, shotguns, and rifles. The toughest to stip down and put back is the Ruger 10-22. The easiest is the AK-47 and the old Colt Pocket 32 hammerless (said to be John M. Brownings favorite pistol design).

Apparently you've not had the pleasure off changing out a trigger group in a Ruger 22/45 pistol. You're in for a real treat.

I have a Mark II. I don’t miss. Most accurate pistol I ever had. It’s a .22LR, but I can walk a coke can with it.

You just get the .22 barrel kit that swaps out in about 3 seconds.

Mark III here, and I agree.
I think the IV is in my near future.

Nice. I've had to rescue a few people who were thoroughly confused when trying to disassemble/reassemble a MKII/MKIII pistol. That should help their sales. I might be tempted to buy that Hunter version. My rimfire competition pistol is the 678 GC slab side version. I always put a Volquartsen trigger and EDC extractors on them. Haven't felt the need to do the hammer/shim upgrades. The big rubber Volthane grip is comfortable, but makes the pistol too fat for my favorite range bag.

Glocks don’t have loose barrels/slides?

Glocks are a pain in the ass to disassemble.

You want easy to disassemble and clean, get a Browning Hi-Power. Or a SIG/Sauer. Any SIG/Sauer. Or a Beretta. Or ...

Yep. Me, too. Mine is a great pistol. I’d love to own a Mark IV.

Christmas is coming..... :>)

My wife added a MKIII to our collection. That magazine safety just made the process even more complex than the MKII. The MKIV looks like a winner.

I used a Mark I in high school, bought one a couple years ago to shoot with the boys, and now a few months ago upgraded to a stainless steel Mark III with Hogue grips. The IV looks appealing but I’m happy with what I have at the moment. The whole series is classic and perfect 22LR target competition. Sure this one will continue that success.

Great gun. I have the original ("Mark I", but it's not labeled as such). Great to shoot. PITA to reassemble. I'll still take it over those tiny little disassembly things on a Glock.

After stripping to clean it a few times (after needing to google the procedure each time) I quit shooting mine, too much trouble.

I have a 9mm Glock and I shoot well with it.

But the Mark II Ruger is a no miss experience. I’d hate to be on the receiving end. Might not knock someone down but I’d have 5 rounds in his mid-upper chest as fast as I could pull the trigger.

Yeah, as long as you have a custom made crowbar with an ice pick end. "Just one button" hmph.

Better than the glock .... and you don’t have to pull the trigger to disassemble!

No, glocks are not a pain in the ass to take down. It generally takes about 5 minutes to show people how to field strip them. After that, about 3 or 4 repetitions and they’ve got it. Compared to a 1911 colt or some of the older weapons it’s a breeze.
