I voted zero so maybe I can find another for myself :)
Around here they are scarce and expensive when you find them. Not interested in the MkIII since the mags are different and I've pleny of MkII mags.

I bought the blued model in 1989, IIRC. Added the SS version last weekend. Now I just need one more MkII.

The third one you speak of; would it look something like this per chance?

I was thinking of the 6-7/8, like Garandimal's, although I was leaning toward stainless. I was sorely tempted by one of those for sale on the S&W forum just three weeks ago. I really have no idea how I resisted.

Did that blued barrel on stainless frame ship like that, or was that combination assembled after it left the factory?

It came from the factory that way. My Mk.II was part of a 2,000 limited edition run made for a distributor (I believe it was Outdoor Sports), back in 1989. There was also a Ruger Bisley in .22LR done up the same way. Both were priced about the same but I only had enough money for one of them so I went with the Mk.II. Very happy that I did!

And yes, I have no idea how you resisted a Mk.II like that either!
 
You can never have enough.

Four Mark ONEs for me ! 1960s MK1 target 6 7/8" done up by Clark in La. that was my Dad's replacement for Woodsman Match Target and he said was better . A 1978 bull barrel that is electroless nickled and now has a Cmore red dot , and a still in the box 1976 Liberty 4 3/4 Standard Model , and an old beater 6" standard model that was thrown in floor of pick up/jeeps for 35 years and still shoots great. I have 6 extra factory mags for them , NEVER a problem cleaning didn't fix.
 
I currently just have a single Mark I, but I could see myself accumulating more if I ran across the right deals. A long barrel hunter model would be nice to have. Although I could accumulate more Buckmarks instead (also only have one) and it wouldn't bother me a bit.
 
Need? None. Humbug.
But I'd argue that any shooter needs a pistol like it. A Standard, Mark II, III, IV, Buckmark, etc.
Me, I'm exceedingly happy with my heavy-barrel 22/45. As a Mark III, it just needs a q-tip swiped at certain spots every five hundred or thousand rounds or so.
 
Well at this moment 2 is enough for me. 1st. is a standard bull barreled target, the 2nd is the same thing but heavily modified for bullseye match use. Of course if another 1(or maybe 2) wander my way with a fair price I just might have to change my vote.
 
I must have felt at some time that the answer is two, because that's how many I have.

I bought the first, a Standard Mk-II, new in 1987. The second, a Target Model, came along used about two years ago. I haven't shot that second one yet (but I must have thought I needed it.)
