Thoughts on the value of a Ruger Mark ll pistol

Thanks for the update, do you prefer the 22/45...most of us would NOT have gone in that direction but it was your choice and I am just curious as to why...

I go that way. The MkII and similar grips have never been instinctive for me. The 22/45 grip isn't perfect, but it is superior in fit and design for me. All the "bar stock" barrels are top heavy, BTW, and look "unfinished", left in the round for manufacturing expediency above anything.

I'll buy the tapered barrels but own no bar stock tubes and only A54 frames, due to balance mainly.

Meanwhile I prefer the 22/45 grip, the best rimfire semiauto offered to date IMHO.
