I teach a beginning firearms class. After an hour in the classroom, our students shoot steel targets using 22 LR Savage bolt action rifles and Ruger Mark III 22/45 target pistols.
I was shooting my elderly Ruger Single-Six recently when it occurred to me that as much as I like this revolver–which spends most of its time in the 22 WMR configuration–it would be fun to own an accurate, semi-automatic 22 pistol like the ones we use in class.
Enter my latest purchase: a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Tactical. I know, I know: I keep saying “I don’t need more guns”–but here we are.
