Gonna order a new Mark IV tomorrow

[bear007]

Ordered and done. Thanks to all for your comments. It did help.

I just over analyze all the options when buying a new gun ugh. Sometimes you just have to pick one and go with it. As someone posted above, ya can't go wrong here lol! I did order the Diamond Gray Anodized LITE I showed above in post #16. It should be here Wednesday morning.

If I was in the market for a Mark IV 22/45 Lite, that's the model I would get. Last week my LGS had a used one in gold for $425 (mint) that i looked over, it was very tempting…

Hmm ... I was looking at ShopRuger but didn't see that muzzle device.

Looks like it's a workhorse!

I think my flip flopping is over. I will probably order this LITE in a couple of hours. My LGS will probably have it by next Wednesday. Unless I flip or flop again!

I can always get a bull barrel later.

Yep, the gold looks pretty good.

Very nice pair you have there! I'll have my 1st one soon.

I guess the only real question is ... do you think the Target model 5.5" bull barrel is significantly more accurate than the stainless 4.4" barrel in the Aluminum LITE model?

I don't think you could go wrong with whatever model you choose. I've got a Mark II and the Mark IV 22/45 Lite. Accuracy is close, but I feel it's slightly better with the Mark II. But at the same time, the II is heavier, and I've had more practice with it.

I've been thinking about another Mark IV. I saw "Grab A Gun" has the 75th Anniversary Mark IV's in stock. They are really looking good.

I saw that in the Grab a Gun emails too.

Well, I did buy it used and upon digging a little, it appears the gold muzzle device is aftermarket. The original thread protector was not in the box. Oh well, I like it regardless.

I have a Mk II and NEVER shoot it anymore since:

Get the Tandemkross Game Changer Pro compensator for it. It works and is very easy to keep clean.

I see there is a Game Changer and a Game Changer Pro. Many of the pics in this thread have the Game Changer or some brand very close to it. I don't see any with the Pro on it.
Hmm?

 

[AzShooter1]

The Pro is much easier to clean. It is heavier and gives you a little less muzzle flip. I started with the Game Changer but eventually went with the Pro.

Received my new Mark IV LITE 22/45 today, already gave it a quick cleaning and it will probably be at the range tomorrow.

 

[bear007]

Well I did go to the range today with the new Mark IV LITE but I didn't get to shoot too much. My grand daughter decided she wanted to come along for her FIRST TIME ever shooting. After taking the first couple shots to make sure the MK IV LITE was functioning properly my grand daughter took the gun and just hogged up all our shooting time for today. Lol! She enjoyed herself and is ready to go again. She already wants me to buy her one of the the purple Mark IV LITE models, not so fast girl!

I did get the opportunity to take 3 shots from 7 yds using a block to see that it was grouping 1.5" low and 2" left which is what I expected from a quick boresight before walking out the door. For today I just told my grand daughter to keep on shooting and enjoy it, I'll adjust the sights on the next trip.

(Good day, 0 failures in about 150 shots with 36 gr. CCI Mini Mags, nor did I expect any failures)

Sounds like a fun day. Would like to see pics of your MK IV when you get a chance.
