So far I've not seen a stock Ruger MKII that would shoot with my stock S&W Model 41 (Of course there are always exceptions). The 41 does not feed all ammo well but I've shoot some real nice groups with Standard vel CCI with no jams. All that being said I do like the Ruger pistol. If the price difference between the two pistols were invested in the Ruger, you would probably have a gun that would shoot as well if not better than the 41.
