difference?

[boomer92266]

I have a post on here about my wife getting me a new gun for Easter, it is a Ruger Mark 4 22/45 and I love it. A friend of mine when he saw it, had to have one so he went this morning and bought him one from another shop. He paid $500 otd for his gun and its a Mark 4 too just not a 22/45. All I can see is his has a metal frame and mine is synthetic, is that the only difference or what other differences are they. From what I can see, I can't see a $100 difference. Thanks for any help.

Metal firearms tend to be more expensive that plastic.

Yes,, the metal does cost a little more,, but the gun shops may also have different pricing rates.

Probably the only important differences would the grip angle. As it's name implies, the 22/45 emulates the grip on the 1911 style grip frame. The steel frame pistols somewhat emulate the Luger grip frame. Maybe someone else can tell you that actual angles if you're interested.
