Hi folks,
The price of .45 ACP is killing me. I like to put 200-300 rounds down range per session, and with ammo prices the way they are I've decided I need to suck it up and find an alternative.
I've done my homework and have decided on a Mark III with a 4.25-5.50" barrel (still trying decide which length). What I'm unsure about is whether I should go with the standard Mark III or the 22/45. I've handled them both and find the all-steel standard Mark III to be appealing, but the 22/45 grip is nice as well. It's a little on the thin side, but I think it would be easy to get used to.
Ideally, this .22 will serve as a practice gun for my 1911. I'll put 300 rounds through it per session and then finish up with 50 rounds with my 1911. It might also see some woods carry during hunting season.
Any advice on which Mark III to get?
