Im curious about how people feel about this gun. I do not yet have my pistol permit but am in the process of doing the paperwork.
I have never used a hand gun, only 22 caliber rifles and shotguns.
I LOVE this Ruger on a purely aesthetic basis. I just think it looks beautiful and functional and the price is right.

My primary purpose of getting the hand gun is for target shooting at the range.
In the off chance that my home is invaded, ill certainly use it for protection. Im not a hunter and dont care about how it functions in that scenario and ill never walk around with it unless im camping or perhaps a long motorcycle trip
Im attracted to the 4 3/4" barrell. The Mark6 appears to be the same gun but with a 6 inch barrell
Am I being foolish in not considering the longer barrell?
And overall, what are your thougths on this gun? reliable, cleaning, performance, feel, quality of construction, accuracy etc...
Thanks
