Mine's an older one, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with the newer ones because from what I've seen, quality seems the same. To me, it doesn't feel as heavy, or have that sewing machine feel when shooting that the framed MKs do, but it's lighter, has a much better factory trigger than the Rugers, and for suppressing, it's a lot more practical because you can buy, or send out, just the barrel, if it needs to be threated. If I had a suppressor, I'd have a really short, threated, dedicated barrel just for that.
Good luck with your project.
