Before the Mk-IV and S&W Victory,,,
Before the Ruger Mk-IV and S&W Victory
The five guns to choose from were:
- Ruger Mk-III
- Ruger 22/45 Mk-III
- S&W 22-A
- Browning Buckmark (lots of models)
- Beretta U-22 NEOS
Some people say one is "better" than the others,,,
But a reasonable person will surmise that's personal preference talking.
It would take bench trials to determine if there is any difference in inherent accuracy,,,
I own all five of the above guns and while I do have my favorite,,,
They all seem to put the bullet where it's pointed at..
Find the gun that fits your hand,,,
Pick it up and aim it.
If it makes you smile when holding it in your hand,,,
That's the one you should consider buying.
That's assuming you want a single-action target style pistol though,,,
If you want something more in line with a duty pistol,,,
Then the options to choose from are different.
The difficulty in disassembling/assembling the Rugers is there,,,
But it can be overcome by diligently following the manual.
It's a complicated process for certain,,,
But if you just follow the written instructions,,,
You will be able to do it and it gets easier with repetition.
These five (or update the Rugers and S&W) are all very nice guns,,,
Buy the one that makes you smile and enjoy it.

P.S. Of my five, I tend to like shooting the Beretta the most.
