Put a box of .22 downrange this morning with my Mark II... Love that .22 pistol. And no, I don't know what the heck I was thinking when I put that one way down at the bottom right...
My Mark ll looks nothing like your grip. It is the gun I am most accurate with. It even makes me look like a good shooter. Got to be one of the best guns made IMO.
That's an empty .410 hull in the trigger guard. Keeps the gun at a good angle for the photo. And I feel your California pain, brother...I was born in Sand Diego and raised in Orange County. Came to Vegas some 22 years ago and never looked back.
