I own what I believe is Rugers best semi-auto in a .22 lr. As for the MK series, I certainly believe it's the best. The MK II does have one flaw. It's not the easiest to take down and clean.
A MKII is very easy to break down and reassemble once you learn the proper angle of the dangle of the hammer strut .
Agree completely. Hold the barrel up at 45 degrees with the hammer forward against the bolt and pivot the take-down assembly into the grip frame. You will feel the strut compress the hammer spring as you push in on the take-down assembly. Then close the latch lever. Really pretty simple. I never have understood what all the whining has been about.I have a MKII stainless target. As good as it gets. Never really understood why such a fuss on taking the MKII's down for cleaning. They are not all that hard to clean.
I had never considered a gun as a wedding gift, but it's an interesting idea.Got mine as a wedding gift 30 years ago. My wife and I have put many thousands of trouble free rounds through it. Both our twin daughters learned to shoot handguns with it. Accurate, reliable weapon that we will never get rid of.

Every household should have one!Yep, my groomsmen were also my hunting, shooting and fishing buddies. They all chipped in and gave it to my wife and I at the rehearsal dinner. Probably the only gift we still have and use! LOL!

The magazine disconnect is one of the things that causes the atrocious out-of-the-box trigger pull on Mark III and IV pistols. It also complicates disassembly.The magazine disconnect doesn't bother me on a pistol not being used for defense.
