If I could speak on the OP’s behalf, I think he meant the Ruger MK in general and not specifically the 22/45. I have a MK III 22/45 and typically call it a 22/45 and not a MK just because I try to differentiate it from the MKs because it is a smaller subset. | |||

I actually did mean the 22/45 Jason. But a better question probably would have been all Ruger MK variants. | |||

I've got the Ruger MK IV 22/45, Shoots great and take apart is super simple. | |||

Come again? The 22/45 was introduced in 1992, so that's... *counts on fingers* ...more than 10 years ago. (Specifically 27 years, for the math deficient amongst us.  )This message has been edited. Last edited by: RogueJSK, | |||

Of the two listed, I own a 22/45.  Only had that scope on it for the one range trip. Wears an old Optima 2000 dot now. With a Tamdom Kross trigger and Volquartsen sear, it shoots great. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

When I was thinking of the 22/45, I am thinking of when Ruger re-introduced the gun in 2004 to have the 1911 grip angle and Mark III features...….so I guess 15 years...…...I don't know anything about an earlier version of a 22/45. | |||

I have nothing against the Buck Mark, exactly, it has just never "tripped my trigger," if you will. I do own a MK IV 22/45 Lite, part of my Ruger "family."  One-button takedown.  Like the other two pictured (AR-556 and LCP), it has been satisfactory. | |||

Yeah, that M14 video guy... |
I own both a Buckmark and a Ruger MKII Target. The Buckmark is the most fun handgun I own. I had the factory barrel cut and threaded down to 4" and had the front sight set back. I installed a Tactical Solutions Picatinny top rail on the Buckmark. I can use standard bulk ammo and they are subsonic out of the 4" barrel. I like the fact that you can change barrels on the Buckmark with 2 screws. Not so with the MK series pistols. The MKII is the most accurate I have with the bull barrel. Both are built like tanks and provide hours of fun.  You can flip the factory sear spring on the Buckmark and it takes your trigger pull down to about 2 pounds. It's called the Heggis flip as the guy who figured it out was member "Heggis" over on rimfirecentral. If you ever get hammer follow, you can simply flip it back to the original orientation. I've been running mine flipped for about 5 years without failure. Tony. Owner, TonyBen, LLC, Type-07 FFL www.tonybenm14.com (Site under construction). e-mail: tonyben@tonybenm14.com | |||

The 22/45 has always had a 1911 grip angle. That's what makes it a "22/45", as opposed to the Luger-style grip angle on the standard Ruger .22s. The original 22/45 introduced in 1992 was the Mark II 22/45. The Mark III 22/45 was then introduced in 2004. And now they're on the Mark IV 22/45, which debuted in 2016. So they've been around longer than "less than 10 years". Or even 15 years. Here's a Mark II 22/45:  | |||

For me personally. Buckmark, but my buddy builds some crazy fun, fast, light race guns out of 22/45's. A true joy to shot. It depends on what you want want to do with it. My Buckmark is a clunker for Rimfire Challenge, but I like it better than his tricked out guns, even if I can shot his faster. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Also a sucker for the MKII 22/45. I'm always on the lookout for the 4" bull barrel.  | |||

Yeah, the 22/45 is old enough that I bought it for the kids when they were young, and they're grown and gone from home, so definitely more than a decade. | |||

When it became next to impossible to get a Ruger 22 auto in CA, I sold my pencil barrel NRA dinner gun MkII and bought 2 buck marks and haven’t looked back. Totally modular, easy to work on and customizable and the aftermarket support is just strong. Since most models are on the roster, new they are affordable and used they don’t command a premium. I’ll probly buy another in the future and pimp it out with Tac-sol goodies. Main problem with the mk2 and 22/45 is the serial number is on the barreled upper making THAT part the firearm not the frame like most every other gun in the world. | |||

Mark one to Mark 3, 22-45, target bull barrel, PacLites. They are all good, feeding issue were ammo related. The take down is easy once you learn how to do it. I like the 'spring' eject for the mags on the MK-3s. Mag from the MK1 to MK3 all fit with a minor mod. Around here the Rugers are less costly than the Buckmarks. The only downside is the Ruger upper receiver is the FFL requirement. -------------------------------- On the inside looking out, but not to the west, it's the PRK and its minions! | |||
