I picked up a new Ruger Mark IV over the weekend and is impressed with the changes made to the design. My father in law had a Mark II and I didn't like the magazine release being at the bottom entrance of the magazine well. Also, I didn't like the difficulty in taking it apart for cleaning.
Now it seems like Ruger listened to people like me and changed these items in Mark IV. The magazine release has been moved to where other guns have theirs. Also, breakdown is as easy as pushing a button.
Lastly, I like the case hardened finish. I know the colors will fade and the case hardening will wear but now it looks great to me. Others may think it's hideous but that's OK.
The guns is drilled and tapped for a scope and I'd like to put a rail on it for a red dot. Does anyone have any opinions on aftermarket picatinny rails.
