Here are my bowling pin and silhouette shooters. All have VQ triggers and sears, Clark bushings, with a trigger pull of about 2 pounds.

Darn, I'm a Ruger MKII fan, but I'll throw some love the Buck Mark's way (like them quite a bit as well):
A spring flip in the Buck Mark will generally give a trigger pull as good as anything a Volquartsen sear will do in a Ruger (at least that's what has happened in my guns)

Nothing to help much but here's my favorite 22's. I gave the MKII to my son so I guess I need to find a replacement. I'm also torn between the 22/45 or a MKIII.
But my hands down no contest favorite is my Smith 41. It makes me look good even on bad days and I have my fair share of bad days. I bought it used. It was built in 1973. I almost bought a brand new on but I'm so happy I got the older one. Has the loaded chamber indicator in the back which to me is just a confirmation that it's the older style. I like old stuff.
I'd like to find a 5" top end to hand on it for fun sometimes.

The Colt Woodsman Match Target was my favorite till I got the Smith. It's bugging me with a few issues but I haven't really been focusing on fixing it, kind of a shoot one, feed and chamber but not reset the striker kind of thing. Gregs been helping on that one but I don't have it figured out yet. Still love it, feels so sweet in hand and a shooter too.

The Ruger is stone cold stock, never any grief except the first few times I tried to detail strip it. Once you figure out how to hold your mouth, and wiggle the right things it's no problem.
Had it a long time, eats everything.

The one I give to all my students for their first experience with a handgun. All VQ, and the balance is perfect. Dozens of students have gone home with a great target to hang on their refrigerator. This gun is a real confidence builder.

Ok.....MkIII or 22/45 ?
Beautiful pistols Boss! You've also become quite adept with the camera:photo:Quote:

That's something I like about the Buck Mark...you can switch barrels easily and no government agency needs to be involved.
You've got a nice MKII, so a 22/45 would make a nice companion. I've got an older 22/45 with the bulky grip and one I built from parts. Here's the parts gun:

Ok, if it has to be a pistol and not a revolver, get a Smith model 41. Ahlman's drilled and installed a fiber optic front sight in the blade.

I bought that frame off ebay (of all places), but I just checked the Ruger site and the version with removable panels does require more dinero: http://www.ruger.com/products/2245Target/models.htmlQuote:
