Ruger Mark IV
I found this new Mark IV 10” Target model in my local shooting range/gun shop. I have been on the lookout for the 5.5” target bull barrel but after handling this one the balance is surprisingly nice. Now I just need to get back to the range and shoot it along with the 60 year older Standard Model Ruger pistol.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I love those Rugers. Two nice ones you have there!
Re: Ruger Mark IV
The Ruger standard automatic and every newer version of it is one of those guns liked even by people who don't like guns.
I got mine from my uncle who said, "I have a German pistol for you, to go along with your German rifle". Neither gun was German, of course, but I'm not complaining.

Re: Ruger Mark IV
I found a complete new unfired upper on Gunbroker in 5” and it mounts right on the lower. And it shoots great. If anyone is interested in a great deal on a Mark IV upper then look at Volquartsen website under clearance items. They are considerably less than 125.00 that I paid. They have to ship to a FFL due to the location of the serial number.

Re: Ruger Mark IV
Interesting pistols.
I've seen them in the past but never got close to buying on. I'm assuming it is a "target pistol"?
