There is a Ruger Mark IV Lite that I have always liked the looks of, and one was on gunbroker, auction ended last night. And it went for a lot less than they normally do. I'm sure the person selling it [it was new] lost money on the deal. It sold for $456.07, which I felt was an extremely good price for this gun. So, why didn't I bid? Though I really like the looks of this gun, the colors,....I have an issue with the fact that the barrel is so absurdly thin. I know they will work fine and that thinness not be a problem,...but I just have a problem with it. The other issue, and this is for any Mark IV, is that when I disengage the safety, the lever hits right where my right thumb likes to naturally rest against the gun. It doesn't feel good at all. My Mark II Government Target, of course, doesn't have this issue. Finally, even though the price was good, I would still have to replace the trigger. The factory triggers on that frame create a "pinch point". So I would have to get a Volquartsen trigger to put in...so extra expense and work. My Mark II already has one in it. So when I really stop and consider something like the below gun,....and what I already have,...........
You get the idea.
Any opinions on?
