I've just joined a gun club and have been borrowing a Mark II Target from the club when I go shooting. Although I like this gun, the 22/45 is $100 dollars cheaper than the Mark III Target.

How does the 22/45 hold up against the Mark III Target?

Thanks,
 
It will be my first 22 pistol. But technically I haven't fired my other guns yet so it's kind of my first pistol. In the future I'll probably use it for cheaper practice (my other guns are a 357 magnum and a 40 s&w).
 
I owned a MKIII 22/45 4.5" Slab side. Great little pistol but the thin grip didn't work for me so I sold after about 1000rnds.
Fast forward 3yrs....I now have a MKIII 5.5" Bull barrel Target model. Still found the grip a little thin but added a Hogue finger grove and is better. The grip angle it different and is heavier than the 22/45(both which I prefer).
Don't think you can go wrong with either. Just depends on which one fits your hand and pocket book better. Buy it right, once.
 
Try the 22/45 RP(replaceable panels). I have one, and a MKIII Hunter. Prefer shooting the 22/45 RP, but not as much as the GSG 1911.
 
I've owned both. I don't own the 22/45 anymore. The lower on the 22/45 is really light and it just didn't feel right to me. I prefer a little more weight to my guns. Other than that I didn't have a problem or complaint with it.
 
The Mark III standard is pretty reasonably priced as well. It has fixed sights though => does this matter much? Also it only comes in 4.75 inches and 6 inches. 6 inches seems kind of long and I don't know whether 4.74 inches is long enough.
 
I have a 22/45. After handling both I much preferred the grip angle as oppose to the MIII. Reliability wise I really don't think you can go wrong with either. To me it's all about the feel
 
longer barrel is easier to aim when you're a new shooter, adjustable sights are always better IMO
