My old MK I Target model, circa 1982, which was the last year the MK I was produced, and an SR22 that was manufactured the first part of March, 2013. A bit different...
The MK I wasn't my first Ruger semi. I had a Ruger RST-4 that I purchased in 1972. It was stolen from my household goods when I transferred from Fort Hood back to Germany in 1976. I was pissed. I'm 100% positive that a guy by the name of Bobby Smith, who was one of the 2 guys who came to our quarters to pack our household goods, stole it. Long story. Suffice it to say that I shouldn't have allowed it to be packed in my household goods. My rifle made it to Germany just fine. Not the pistol. Live and learn.
Stay safe.
I bought an SR-22 this year, and it has been a cool little pistol. Hope you are enjoying yours.
ReplyDeleteDixie has one also. It could easily be mistaken for their .380.
ReplyDeleteI haven't fired it yet. Perhaps one day this week after work. Our local range has been crazy busy these past several months. I like the size and the feel of the pistol. Pretty sure I'm gonna like it. :)
ReplyDeleteI would posit that 1970 is the actual year that Mk 1 production ended since the '71-82 guns are not the same as the 47-70 guns.
ReplyDeleteMk 1.5 perhaps, it especially matters when you attempt to buy stocks for them.
Or magazines.
McThag... I did not know that.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
