This forum is not healthy for my bank account… the revival of this thread reminded me I still have a .22 can that needs a home, and I am dedicated caller this elk season… so might as well have a grouse gun on my hip… Should have it in a week to try out. 3” barrel so should shoot most everything subsonic and be a little more compact. I’ll see what accurate yardage I can get out of it for grouse. Was surprised it’s actually 4oz heavier than the Lite. I think because it’s actually just a chopped version of the steel target barrel.

We’ll see if I wish I just went with the regular 4.5” barrel Lite. Didn’t see the weight difference when I purchased.

you won't..... once you dump the rail and get it set up and dialed in. I've shot prairie dogs past 80 yards.

Are either of you having any issues running subs? I'm trying to get an idea of what kind of ammo the SSH version likes and dislikes.

No reason to run subs thru a pistol with a 3" barrel, as most all HV ammo IS sub thru them....

I’ve got a Ruger convertible in stainless and it’s smooooth as glass. Also a browning buck mark and a ruger mark series 22. All phenomenal and you can’t go wrong

I’m also looking at these two pistols. Odd to me the SS version is $200 more than the 4.4” version. Does this have a better trigger or something? I feel like I can get the 4.4” version and have the barrel cut back and still be money ahead? Just trying

The Mk IV Ruger is easier to clean than earlier versions. I have a “Target” version, I wish we were allowed to use handguns for hunting up here.
