Our Assessment: Modeled after Japanese Nambu pistols, the Standard Model pistol is a distinct firearm. Designed in the Ruger founder’s garage, funded by a friend impressed with the design and willing to take a chance, the standard came to be like so many distinctly American things: through will and ingenuity. And it paid off. The Standard was in production for forty years, and the pattern is as of 2022 in its fifth iteration with the Mark IV and saw several wonderful designs in between, each having become in its way one of the most popular and reliable pistols in America. The Pistol on offer here is a Mark II Competition Target from 2002 and is in Excellent condition, appearing to have spent more time in its factory packaging than out. The Competition Target is one of the most accurate of the Mark series pistols and will serve well as a target pistol, plinker, or guarden guardian. A collector may even want to just keep it as is, an excellent example of the KMK678GC looking like it just came out of the factory. Good luck, and happy bidding!
