This specific model denotes a variant of the Ruger Mark II pistol series designed for target shooting. It typically features adjustable sights, a longer barrel for increased accuracy, and often a heavier frame for reduced recoil. An example would be a blued Mark II with a 5.5-inch bull barrel, adjustable target sights, and a comfortable target grip.
The enhanced accuracy and control offered by these pistols make them well-suited for competitive shooting disciplines and recreational target practice. This design philosophy builds upon the Mark II series’ reputation for reliability and affordability, providing a platform accessible to both seasoned marksmen and newcomers. Historically, these variants have contributed to the popularity of rimfire pistol shooting sports.
