Ruger Mark II Government Target Model
I enjoy this remarkably accurate handgun for informal target shooting and small game. Equipped with a Burris 2X pistol scope, it performs as accurately at 25 and 50 yards as the .22 rifles of my shooting companions.

Great shot Mr. Palumbo! They are very accurate indeed. Although I must say I used to hate them. Several times in the past I had to shoot matches with someone shooting one of these to my left on the firing line. The empties on this model eject high and straight to the right. Invariably, during rapid fire intervals, a very hot empty would drop down inside my glasses. I would have to keep shooting while it burned a spot under my eye lid. I finally matured to develop a Mark II stance with my left hand held in a salute over my left eye. Other than that, they are a great pistol and deadly accurate. I wish I had one.
I readily agree! I get showered with ejected brass from the shooter to my left, so I wear a baseball-type cap (and I tilt my head to the left) to keep the brass out of my face, but occasionally one of the little devils will slip down my collar. I've learned to be aware or conscious of the shooters to my right. The pistol was more accurate than I could hold it, but the scoped pistol is fun to shoot from rest (any solid position) because it's so accurate.
Great for Alaska Grouse and Bear protection to! Just joking :)
