22/45 Information

[Old Flatulence]

Hello To All Forum Members,
I just joined this forum and am looking forward to conversing with knowledgeable Ruger owning folks. Recently, I had the opportunity to purchase two Ruger, semi-auto, 22/45's. One in STS and one in Blue. They are both Mark II Government Competition Target models with 6 7/8" Slab-Side barrels. The Ruger model numbers are: 00195 for the STS and 00196 for the Blued one. According to Customer Service, at Ruger, they left the Factory in November, 2002. My question, which Ruger could not answer, is: Does anyone know production figures on either of these two models? They are not listed in the Blue Book of Gun Values. Any info would be gratefully appreciated.
THANKS!

Hey Old Fart, I mean Old Flatulence

0195 is the rarest with only 500 produced (made in 1995)
0196 has only a few thousand produced (made in 2002-2003)
