I just returned from a Ruger .22 rim-fire challenge match this A.M., in which I used my 70s vintage Ruger Standard, which is basically a Mark I. If I need a reliable, accurate, easy-to-shoot .22 auto pistol, this is the one. Its finish isn't the greatest, but this aspect allowed me to pick it up from an auction for only $150 a couple of years ago. Its no-frills operation--no hold-open, and bottom-mounted mag release are a little annoying, but the sweet shooting makes up for that. I'll be buying and installing an extended mag release, so that will eliminate half of my gripes!
