My Mark ll Target 22

Post by Pitchy »

Bought this Mark ll target at a gun show years ago and hardly ever shoot it so thought i`d put a few rounds through it.
Shot at 15 yards leaning against a post, fun. :)

Those are superb pistols, Pitchy. They are capable of
1-hole groups - although your pics show good shooting for
sure! :D (No offense intended!)

I greatly prefer those Hogue grips like yours is sporting, as
well as the bull barrel. They make a nice club gun for bullseye,
and are also a great field pistol for small game or plinkin'.

I have the same in stainless. Bought new in '88. Great squirrel pistol. I have not had it out in several years. Your post reminds me it needs some woods time this year. I am going to go dust it off right now. Thanks Pitchy.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

For those who like a less-acute grip angle, consider the Ruger Mk-3/45 - has the same grip as the 1911, and otherwise same gun.

My MKII Government Target was the first new handgun I bought. For awhile I had a scope on it, and at 25yds it was indeed a one ragged hole shooter. This is the shooter I'd pick if I had a bet on if I could hit a pop can at 100yds.....Pitchy, I want to get those grips, I hope they still make them :)

Bought one a couple years ago and didn`t like the way it felt, two thin in the grips.

I`d think they would still be available, they have a nice hold.

very nice pitchy. I have the 45/22 with a silencer on it and love shooting it. Too bad its not legal here in Pa to shoot with, no semi autos allowed.

Shot a little more, 25 rounds in the left dot with the rifle at 18 yards.
15 rounds in the right dot with the pistol, dern sights are just to fuzzy.

Ruger Mark pistols are a blast. I have several. The top I use for Bullseye and below
is for rimfire PPC shooting. Both are more accurate than I will ever be. :oops:

I'm looking to get a 22/45 gripframe to build another PPC pistol that will more approximate my 1911. :D

Spaceman, are those Pac-Lite uppers that much better than the bull barreled Ruger uppers? I've been wanting to try one but have been hesitant to spend the money.

My first handgun was just like yours Pitchy except in stainless steel. I bought it in 86 after turning 21 and still have it but haven't shot it in a while. Believe I'll get it out soon. I've got a 22/45 that I've been shooting a lot more lately.

Not better, just different. I have found ALL of my Ruger Mark pistol uppers to be very accurate, factory or aftermarket.
The 10" barrel Pac-Lite gun balances very much like my shorter barreled gun. I like the extra barrel length when I take the
red dot off it for open sight bullseye.
