I may just have to "pull the trigger" again on a new Victory... Smith & Wesson variety!

It's amazing how many manufacturers copy the old Ruger Standard Mark 1 design. I prefer .45 ACP because shooting twice is just silly. I could be talked into a Keltec PMR 30 though, if you can find one.

And Bill Ruger copied a Nambu pistol to make his MK1-there's not much new under the sun, just design improvements as ideas evolve.
I'd go with the Ruger as there's a lot more parts & accessories compared to the S&W-just like the HD/Victory argument.

Sitting here looking at my Nambu and my Ruger MK1, I can see some similarities, but "copied" is a definite overstatement. Quite a few differences are readily apparent, even if the overall profile is somewhat similar.

The SW looks a lot like a Colt Cadet. It had a design more akin to a High Standard. I had one of those for awhile. I might have to check out this S&W.

OK to be correct--In 1949 William Ruger did build two duplicate Nambu pistols in his garage, and using the Nambu silhouette & bolt system created his MK1 prototype.

Correct. He built two Nambu duplicates to gain experience in pistol making. He used the silhouette and bolt system in his PROTOTYPE. From there, he departed into his own designs.

The frames, safeties, magazine catch and release mechanisms, ejection ports, and some other features are quite different between the Nambu and Ruger's design. I have both, a Baby Nambu that my Dad brought home from WWII, and a Ruger MK1. They don't share much in common.

I wish they would make those in the .17hmr. .22lr are just so inaccurate in that short of a barrel. Have a Browning Buck Mark II which is very similar and it's a nice shooter, but it has a little longer barrel.

The press release on the SW22 said that optional barrels would be available, including one threaded for muzzle brakes or other devices. I agree, the 22LR does better in longer barrels. I have a Ruger MKII target with the 10 inch bull barrel, and it is more accurate than I can hold it steady. From a solid rest, it rivals most popular rifles in accuracy.

The SW22 appears to be the evolution of Smith and Wesson's very own model 41. It has my interest.

Ruger and Smith and Wesson fan myself.

I have four Ruger SP101s including one 9mm, and two Smith model 60s. I'm not giving any of them up.

The Smiths are exquisite little things, high quality, and discreet..............
