Hello to all! I have been looking at rimfire pistols for a while, and have narrowed it down to a ruger. (I think. Mainly because ruger says they are safe to dry fire.) So anyway, I have several questions. This will be for learning how to shoot a handgun, plinking, and Bullseye. As a beginner I probably don't need something as accurate as a model 41, but would like the pistol to be more accurate than I am.
1: is there any difference in accuracy between the regular mark III pistols and the 22/45 bull barrels shown in the link assuming same barrel length?

2: Is the mark III easier to dry fire than the 22/45? They have different controls, or at least different control locations.
3: Which barrel length from the link above would have a balance most similiar to a full-size centerfire pistol ( maybe a 1911) with a five inch barrel?(I'm guessing the five inch one )
4: Other than perhaps some antique lugers, is the regular mark III grip identical or very close to any modern centerfire pistol, and would practice transfer well? I have heard it will.
5: Which out of the following has a lighter trigger, A ruger single-six, A ruger autoloader rimfire pistol, or an S&W 617 fired in single action?
Any Input welcome. I've been running this through several different forums.
Maybe I should have put this in the autoloader forum, but I'm open to revolver suggestions too.
Keep in mind this is a first handgun, but I own and am familiar with long guns.
By the way how are cabela's prices on these things?
