| $250.00 ok price? Its in good condition. |

Is the std. blue steel or stainless ? I have a stand that is in stainless steel for 15+ years. It has always been a good shooter and easy to carry ( 4" bbl)
for the price of $250, I do not think that you can go wrong, depending on the condition of the pistol....of course you could always see if they will take less. |
| With the availability and proliferation of mkii's and iii you really have to want a standard to own one. The 9 shot magazine can be a pain in the ass to find locally at times (online isnt a problem and mine even worked with mkII mags), It doesn't lock back after the last shot, so clearing malfs can get interesting especially since you have disengage the safety to be able operate and hold the bolt open while the other tries to clear the jam. The drift adjustable sights are basic. Honestly , if you wanted a ruger rimfire pistol, get the mk2 unless you really had your heart set on the standard for what ever reason. |
| sure no problem, now to throw a wrench into the mess... If you can find a standard for cheap, you can buy the mkII parts and modify the frame relatively easy to convert it to a mk II. Then if you like you can rebarrel or toss the standard upper out in favor of a paclite, volquartzen, or clark upper. |

Hold on...no expert here but "standards" were made in MKI, MKII & MKIIIs.
A Stainless standard MKII goes for around $300 at the shows. A standard, no matter which MK it is lacks adjustable rear sight & a overtravel stop screw in the trigger. Seems very few shoot exactly to point of aim & most file the front sight down until it's dialed in. The groups produced seem as good as the so called target models. There are aftermarket rear sight assemblies that are adjustable, as another option. If you are talking about a MKI, the MKII 10 round magazines can be made to work, however the slide will not remain open on the last shot. |
