You are welcome. Love working smarter, not harder😉

Hi Shannon, thanks for the comment. It is a little tight, but to be honest it does not bother me at all. I have Hogue grips on pretty much everything I own. Just got the Hellcat Pro which has great texture on it, but I immediately put a Hogue grip on it. I love the pronounced finger groves and it is always a positive grip. I guess is a personal thing. Thanks again for your input.

The whole idea is not to manipulate the safety when the slide is off. It can cause the little ball barring behind the safety lever to pop out, and that is not a good thing.

Thank you for the response! I will make sure not move safety while the slide is off

Gave my Buck Mark away and bought a Ruger Mark II. I didn't like that the sight base was separate from the barrel. I also needed to barely finger tighten the sight base screws after reassembly or they would basically fuse to the sight base preventing disassembly (mine had conical screw heads with 'twisted tooth' lock washers). I had to send mine back to Browning for repair to get the screws out once. Other than that, it was a very nice pistol. I still get to shoot it once in a while as I gave it to my brother. I liked it too much to permanently get rid of it. I did break a firing pin once in the browning... not sure why.

Buckmark is a good gun, but I don't care for the breakdown method. In my opinion, you can not beat the Ruger Mark IV for take down.

Thomas, thank you for your comment. There was nothing wrong with the accuracy of the first three generations (to my knowledge). I never had one. Most people’s complaint was the takedown and reassembly, especially for those who did not clean it very often. The Mark IV I can vouch for because I do have one. The frame was CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum, which in my opinion is a lot stronger. It actually adds more heft to the gun. (35.6 oz total) The barrel is Cold hammer-forged steel. The 2245 is a molded polymer grip frame which make it a little lighter. (34.4 oz total) I did not like the plastic front sight, but that was quickly and inexpensively remedied. I kind of waste money changing the front sight, since I put on the rail and Red Dot. (which I love) The rest of the gun is extremely solid. I am sure you love your Mark II as I love my Mark IV. Thank you again for your input.

Thank You!

Sounds like a plan!

Thank you😊 Sometimes, the light goes on, and I get a bright 💡idea.

I don't see one on springfield website. You could call them to be sure.

You could have your slide milled for probably $200. Look on line for a place that does it.

Sorry I thought I had responded to you earlier. My bad! Theoretically yes, but the manufacturer will tell you not to depend on the safety.

So far mine has stayed put.

No more than any other IMHO. 22LR is a dirty round to start with. It's never an issue form me, because when I get back from shooting the first thing I do is clean my guns I don't care what caliber it is, that is just one of my convictions. 22 LR guns in general can be very finicky. I do love this gun, it is more accurate that I am. I will sometimes have a malfunction. It may be the ammo, I only use CCI standard velocity. I find it to be the most consistently accurate. IMHO.

@@ATS357 thanks

Well that would work, the problem is you would have dirt and gun powder sticking to the grease and gumming up everything. In my opinion.

Thank You.

Thanks for watching!

I got them from a local gun shop. I am sorry I can't remember the brand.

Ordered it through Ruger. You can get the same thing through TANDEMKROSS, they just won't have the Ruger logo.

If it were me, I would be in contact with Ruger. I am sure they will make it right!

The off center front sight is no longer bothering me; thanks to my old eyes, I have installed a rail and put a red dot on top. The cause of the rattling barrel on the receiver has also been resolved by using a 0.01 inch stainless steel shim placed at the front of the receiver right under the barrel, that's the exact location Ruger put a rubber plug to prevent the barrel from rattling. I believe I bought my MK IV in 2018, since then I have been buying European made firearms, not of them come with any issues.@@ATS357

NICE!

Glad it was helpful!

Right on!

Thanks 👍

It works, and that works for me!

Yes, they look ugly as sin but the only other option is to get a Volquartsen bolt for ~$300, but it also has all their upgraded components and you have a spare bolt.

True makes it goofy asf 🤣.

The Halo actually works much better than OEM and eliminates the finger pinch

Ruger ought to fire the designer who standardized this new bolt with its vicious finger-biting absence of ears. The old style bolt is much better.

:(

If it's the safety on top, not a cross bolt, the safety has to be either on safe or fire, I can remember at the moment. Try it both ways. One of them should work. Let me know if that works.

@@ATS357 I had a friend help me with it. Turns out the cartridge interrupter and the stop were in fact the issues behind all of it which is crazy because I would press both as hard as I could to the sides and it still didn’t do the trick. I figure it’s one of those things where it matters more about the points of pressure rather than pressure itself.

Glad you got it. Yes they have to be just right in order to get the trigger group back in place.

So far so good! I am loving it.

@@ATS357 Is there a reason why you went with the Tandem Shadow rail instead of the OEM Ruger?

If I recall, the Ruger one was less expensive, but the shadow had really good reviews. Whatever one you choose, make sure you get all the oil out of the holes in the receiver and use lock tight.

@@ATS357 Appreciate the advice! Waiting for mine to arrive home!

You got that right!

No you do not! I don't know why they manufacture ones like that. I do like this red dot.

Thank you for watching. I realized I said Missouri after I said it and typed Mass on the screen. The more I use the 669 the more I love it. Great trigger and lots of safety’s. I love that you can rack a round in with the safety on, then take safety off and carry it that way. You have a very long first shot.

Thanks!

I guess they took the lead from Glock. Cheap plastic sights!

Thank you, I am really enjoying it.

I am glad! A small thing with such a profound effect.

Thank you, I don't remember the name of it, but I got it at a Hobby Store.

Nope my mistake. The barrel length of diminishing return is 20" for 22LR. The extra velocity would not get the 40gr to 1400ft/s

Actually I have not. It shoots the mags out pretty aggressively and the release does not stick. I was not aware anyone was having an issue with that.

@ATS357 I can find a few examples of this issue. It seems to happen when the gun gets warm or just slightly dirty. (Less than 100 rounds) I also noticed that the mag catch will hit the tip on the mag when I insert it and I suspect it's out of spec which may be a part of the problem So I took a chance today and took the mag release out and sanded down the edge that catches the mag I only took enough off to help the mag to go in easier. Haven't had it out on the range since so I don't know if it worked.
