I have a Ruger Mk III, SR22, S&W Victory, S&W 617 10-shot... love em all. Can’t go wrong with a Ruger though I’m not crazy about the Mk IV. I’ve reached that age where everything new is not as appealing as tried and true. It’s just a phase of life with little logic to it. My 617 is brand new, with the lock. Best .22 revolver I have ever fired, bar none.
