Getting a threaded suppressor host. As a lefty I decided on a Ruger Mk 4, the ease of cleaning makes it an acceptable host.
I like the light weight of the 22/44 lite, 25 oz, w/ its polymer grip frame and aluminum upper w/ tensioned steel pencil barrel.
But, I like the luger style grip of the regular Mark pistols better, but the only 4.5" threaded barrel they have comes w/ the all steel upper w/ bull barrel. The black frames of that tactical model is are aluminum though; it comes out to nearly 9 oz heavier, maybe tad less w/ the bottom rail removed at 34 oz! Almost like a 1911 full-size!
The heavier gun would be more stable for certain types of shooting, and would make for faster followups at a given target I guess, it is a blowback gun after all
But the lite would maybe transition between targets more quickly? Like if surprising a pack of varmints and try to take a bunch of them out before they scurry off?? I've done this w/ suppressed 9 but it is still awful loud at night.
The can is an aluminum one FWIW, whichever is the specter or the warlock, its been sitting in the safe since before 41p.
FWIW, the purpose would be mostly for shooting suppressed w/ that aluminum can.
The 22/45 lite would be better for the kids, easier to hold up for sure.
What do you think?
