My favorite is my Browning Buck Mark.

I was digging through my safe and found this one I had forgotten about. I won it in a gun raffle about 10 years ago. I've shot it a few times and it is a decent shooter, certainly not on the same level as the Browning, but then again it only cost me a $10.00 chance.

KahrDriving,
I like that gun and was wondering what kind of trigger it is??

Tandemkross trigger ( I like the straight triggers), did the ‘flip’ on the spring and a little polishing on the sear, it’s now at 1.7 lb, love the way it shoots and love the reliability, the Hunter model is a little muzzle heavy, which is what I like for offhand shooting

Ole bunny killer.

My grandpa and I thank you. He bought em all but the Wrangler. The MkII bull barrel was my first pistol, which he bought me over 20 years ago. He has been gone 18 years now. The Woodsman MT was possibly the last gun he purchased, and i was there when he got it.

There is nothing better than plinking with a 22 pistol!

My three, S&W M41, S&W M48-4 (.22 Magnum) and Ruger 22/45 MkIII:

My very first handgun. About 1976. A Colt Diamondback .22.

Thousand of rounds through it. Back when a brick of .22 Wildcat was $9.00 at Gibsons.

I have others. But, that little gun has a special place for me.

(My gun… not my hand)

My young lady friend called it “dainty”.

Wow. That's all I got.

My favorite firearm - an odd length & site combination Ruger Mark II. Picked it up in 1998 for $90 from a friend who had bought it without his parent’s permission at the time, and they made him get rid of it. Many, many a mile on my hip with this pistol, literally thousands of coons over hounds, a few coyotes in my calf corrals and more in traps - it might get buried with me; my son can enjoy his own Mark IV instead.

The blued model MK6 like your father’s and the 4” MK450 were the “base model” of the era, and not uncommon. However, I’m told the stainless 6” model, the KMK6, was more often misassembled either with target sights or the thicker and longer 6 7/8” tapered barrel of the Target (effectively mislabeled as KMK6’s), and fewer units were produced overall than the standard base model, OR the target model. I suppose folks spending extra for stainless over a base model blued pistol would also prefer the adjustable target sights.

I owned it for many years before another Ruger enthusiast pointed it out to me as “odd.” Even requesting the serial number history for this one from Ruger shows it wasn’t even a KMK6 on record, but was rather a blued bull barrel model, which it obviously isn’t. I’ve only seen a handful of other true KMK6’s in the last 20yrs, as most I find have the adjustable target sights, even when they have the right barrel.
