Got a Mark 3 22/45 Light that have not seen much use after I acquired a 1911 .22 conversion last year.
What are your thoughts on these Mark 4 models? I like the new take-down process but to be honest not a big fan of the way they look now with that big "hinge"...
I think the jury is still out on these ~NEW~ versions. Yes, I agree, the hinge has sorta taken away from the lines of these pistols. I have an order in for a couple of Mark IV pistols, but because I don't turn many guns in sales, I'm a long time on the waiting list to get any new models.
As soon as I can find my bench under the white stuff, I want to do some testing of this new Mark IV with the 6 7/8 inch barrel and see how it goes up against a Mark II Government and then a Mark II Competition Target. May even add a Browning Buckmark Contour with the 7 ¼ barrel into the mix. Shooting will be done using a Ransom Rest to eliminate any of the "me" from the process. Will report back when data is gathered.
