Ok. I've realized I'm in love with the Ruger MKII pistol(everbody has to have a "thing"). I also realize I don't know enough about them. Is there a definitive resource of every variation of the MKII that was made?
Good man. The MKII came from the years of "the good Ruger" (company).Ok. I've realized I'm in love with the Ruger MKII pistol(everbody has to have a "thing"). I also realize I don't know enough about them. Is there a definitive resource of every variation of the MKII that was made?
Aren't mk pistols striker fired too? What am I missing?I took my heavy tapered barrel target model to the range Sunday. It's perfect for casual, off hand, target shooting. Best trigger of the three MKIIs I have. Let a couple of young guys shoot it. Their reactions were priceless. Literally, jaws dropped and said "Oh my God, that gun is so easy to shoot." Best range day I ever had. They probably only experienced striker fire type triggers.

Glad you had a great day at the range.
I prefer real firearms, also. I bought three plastic 22s trying to find one that was reliable, comfortable, fairly accurate, and most of all, easy to clean. The triggers range from weird to just bad. The TX22 comes the closest to fitting my requirements. It is "ok" once you get past the trigger issue. Of course it is advertised as having an awesome trigger.I'm not a fan of the striker fired plastic guns myself. Everyone I have bought so far was sold off soon afterwards. Besides the original Ruger auto pistols, I prefer the 1911 style autos the most and usually have one close at hand whether it's my little Sig P983 or the full sized Colt .45. On the other hand, one of my kids is a big Glock fan.
I've shot 1911s most of my life. A lot in competition. Tried every plastic striker fired pistol out there. I took an M&P 9mm in trade on a job. It points just like a 1911. First time my son shot it was the first time he had fired any striker fired pistol. He was making head shots on USPSA target at about 20 yds. I told him he was hitting high. He said he was aiming at the head. Enough said. But I do have Apex Competition triggers in all of them. And all of them are the CORE model as I like the large sights.I'm not a fan of the striker fired plastic guns myself. Everyone I have bought so far was sold off soon afterwards.

I never meant to say all striker fired or polymer guns are bad. I carry a P365. It's light, small, reliable, and 10 rounds in such a small package ain't bad. I know myself. I don't even like change in my pockets. A P365 with me is better than a 1911 at home.I've shot 1911s most of my life. A lot in competition. Tried every plastic striker fired pistol out there.
