Opinions on .22 Ruger Mark II
I want to get a plinker that I can also use to teach my daughter safe gun handling. I found what seems to be a good deal on a Ruger Mark II. It has factory bull barrel, trigger, grips, and a red dot sight on it (tru glo). She has no problem with the trigger reach on this gun, yet its not too small for my hands either. This is why I ruled out the Walther P22, its just too small, and costs a bit more than the Ruger. Also, the Ruger is something I can tinker with down the road. Any opinions or suggestions before I pick it up?

I don't own one. But I usually hear nothing but praise from the Ruger owners on these guns. Most people decide between the Ruger or the Browning Buckmark. I picked the Buckmark.

Dave excellent choice in.22, I shoot my friends alot he has 12 of them, they are about the most accurate .22 production pistol on the Market I feel.

Yes I agree. I've had a couple other 22's( browning buckmark & beretta neos) but my husbands ruger has been the best of any. my brother even picked one up, and my son 12 can shoot it very well also. It is extremely accurate, and a good trainer.

I had a mark 2 and I hated it, but then again I had an AMT Automag III and loved it, so I think you can see why.

Good choice brother. I hate loading the mags to those damn things but it's a good plinker and instruction weapon.

Thanks guys, picked it up today

I like it. Very nice.

Looks like a great plinker, and a great teaching pistol

Hey if she is shooting it and enjoying it go for it. get what is comfrontable for her. You want her to shoot with you make her happy. You can always buy something else later. Main thin is you get to spend time with your daughter

Took it to the range, we both had a blast. This was her first time shooting. After about 150 rounds

She really did great! :gun:
