What Makes This Different

The 4.75-inch satin stainless steel tapered barrel provides optimal velocity for 22 LR ammunition while resisting corrosion. Unlike earlier Mark series pistols that required complex disassembly procedures, this model breaks down with a single button press for easy cleaning and maintenance.
