I'm glad to hear that the guns have some good qualities. This will be my first pistol. I turn 21 on Feb 1 and I just have to go pick up the gun now and run that background check. When you say that your MkII is MUCH more accurate, how bad is the S&W? The gun I am buying is some sort of limited edition barrel that is 6" instead of 5 1/2" It is ported and the gun has a few other features I can't think of right now so I am hoping that it may be more accurate than the run of the mill variety of 22A. I'll post again when I get it in. Thanks for the input. Hope to hear from you again soon.
