Target 22 pistol?

[mpotts]

I have a S&W model 41 that shoots lights out. They are pretty expensive but you can find used ones now and then.

I have one of The Model 41's they are awesome but they are North of a Grand

Don't get the Mark 4. Save some money and get the Mark 3.

Can you explain why?

Can you explain why?

I don't understand either. Why do some of ya'll prefer the Mark 2 or 3 over the 4?

In my shopping, I haven't found a significant cost savings. Are the older ones really better?

[LakeJake]

Also are there any other "problems" with the 22/45 grip? It feels better in my hand.

I can get over not being able to slingshot the slide closed.

Some folks like the grip angle on the 1,2,3 over the 4

Gotcha, thank you.

The mark 4 is a new design. It is easy to take apart and costs more than the older models.

There is an aftermarket piece that you can install to slingshot the 22/45. I don't know how good they are. You can buy them on eBay and see videos on YouTube.

Got my boy a Halo charging ring from Tandemkross that he runs at competitions. No issues with it at all.

Video of him running a stage last weekend.

Yes, duh. You recommended AGAINST the one that's new and easier to take apart. Why?

The OP wanted to be as economical as practical. The older models are cheaper.

Oh I thought you just meant that in your opinion the old ones were a better choice.

I think you're wrong on price. Show me a $285 Mark III:

I personally think the older design is superior over the newest gen...the II is a known inherently accurate gun & gaining collectability. This makes it better money spent in the long run as well. I would pony up for a real clean one in the original box. You will find it to hold it's value & possible increase depending on condition long term while you enjoy shooting it.

The MKII slab side is a good collector right now if you can find one.

Ok, thank you
