Ruger MK IV opion

[y2k]

What you guys think of the Ruger mk4 target. I like the improvement made for disassembley. I only watch YouTube videos on them

I was going to get the MKIII earlier this year but once I saw how easy the MKIV is to take down - it was no contest. I've had mine since about February. I love it - the added weight of the Target model is great, fun to shoot, ammo is cheap. I did have some frustrating ejection issues at first - turns out it was due to: 1) the place I bought it from initially sold me a few boxes of CCI .22 LR HP ammo. The hollow point didn't work all that well (fine in my rifle - not the pistol) and 2) I took it apart, cleaned it throroughly and oiled it well. No issues since then... With 5 mags I would easily cycle through 400+ rounds and no issues since then.

I certainly like mine.

I have a stainless gun with the heavy barrel. I pushed off the rear sight and put on a Vortex sight as well as installing a Volquartsen trigger and slightly modified Hogue grips.

The pistol is smooth, accurate and fun to shoot.

I had avoided the Ruger pistols for 30 years due to worries about cleaning. I am glad I waited, and very happy with my newest handgun.

I have a MK3 and desperately am wanting a MK4 lite

I have a MK4 tactical and it has been flawless. No failure to anything in 3k rounds.

They aren't that bad to take down and you missed out on shooting an excellent handgun for 30 years.

I went for a used MK III, once I heard about the MK IV recall.

I bought a nice Hunter for a good price and have to say it's a great shooter just spend a couple of extra minutes on Youtube and your fine

What were they recalling them for?

Issue with the safety if not used properly.

One of the best .22 pistols available, period. The full stainless ones are hefty, but the weight keeps them stable and very accurate.

I had a High Standard Victor from Camden.

I didn't miss much with that one.

If the pistol’s serial number starts with 5 it was manufactured after the recall and thusly not affected.

I have an MKII and so far it has swallowed everything I threw at it without any hiccup. Including rem golden bullet and a bunch of very old stuff with brass that turned almost brown.
I'm really impressed with my mk2. Probably the mag and feed ramp angle makes for such smooth loading.

Fair enough. My Mk.III 22/45 is like that as well. I miss, it doesn't.

I shoot nothing but bulk pack ammo in my 22/45.

My MKiv eats anything from cci mini mags and stingers to the cheapest crap that comes in a bucket.
