How is this a more efficient model of the Walther P38, if the P38 used 9MM Para, while the Ruger MK II uses .22LR?

- It bears no resemblence whatsoever to the P-38. It bears a superficial resemblence to the P-08 Luger, but the Luger was a short recoil design and the Ruger is a blowback. scot 19:50, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure the section on the MKII jamming on extraction belongs at that heading level. Also, if "major issues with the pistol" is listed, the somewhat tricky disassembly/reassembly should probably be mentioned somewhere. Dean 18:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, I kind of object to the phrase "One of the Ruger rimfire pistols' most prominent flaws", since it implies that the pistol has many prominent flaws. I own one, and unless mine is a fluke... Dean 18:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

- I think that section can probably be yanked--the Ruger's are are not unreliable, they're about as reliable as an autoloader gets in .22 LR. For example:
- My suggestion for the beginner looking for an entry-level pistol is to consider the Ruger Mark II. Its accuracy is excellent and its reliability is second to none. Its only flaw is that its trigger action as it comes from the factory, is usually criticized as long and sloppy and merits an inexpensive trigger job.
- from http://bullseyepistol.com/equipmnt.htm. You can jam up ANYTHING with bad magazines or bad ammo; try shooting .22 CB longs out of a 10/22 without radiusing the feed ramp on the magazine first... scot 22:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
