I like the 22/45 version of the Mark IV. So I'm trying to pick one that I can mount a red dot to.
I have a couple options -- what would everyone recommend? Is there really an advantage to the Lite version, other than looking cool? I know it's lighter, but that seems to me to increase felt recoil (minimal in a .22lr but still there).
On Bud's, I can get the following:
- Standard MkIV for $294 -- still needs a top rail for about $20 I think
- MkIV tactical for $394 -- threaded barrel, already has top and bottom rails
- MkIV lite for $420-$500 (depending on color) -- looks to be a lightweight version of the tactical, minus the bottom rail (That I probably won't use anyway)
I like the looks of the Lite models a lot -- are the worth $100+ more than the base model?
I don't know if I'd ever run a suppressor or not. What else can I use a threaded barrel for?
