I prefer the 22/45 over the Mk-II or MK-III Series
It's just a grip angle preference for me.
I've owned the 4" barrel version,,,
And have shot many long barrel models.
It seems all of my range buddies have a Ruger of some ilk,,,
So I've been fortunate in having lots to try out.
My favorite after all of that is the 5.5" Slab-side version,,,
I purchased a pair of the new stainless steel model 22/45 Mk-III with wood grips.
The balance of the 5.5" gun is perfect for me,,,
The stainless slab-side barrels are simply beautiful.
These are all of the Ruger pistols I will ever need.
