The autoloader fan will find a wide selection of models in a broad spectrum of price ranges from which to make a selection. Before selecting any rimfire autoloading handgun, examine several models to determine how the size, weight, and handling characteristics compare. If an autoloader is your cup of tea, it is hard to imagine a more reliable, dependable rimfire handgun than the Ruger Standard model in either the Mark II (which is still in the display cases of many dealers) or the recently introduced Mark III configuration. As a plinking pistol for the outdoorsman, the Standard model is adequate, but one of the variants with adjustable sights would be a better choice if the pistol is to be used as a training piece for formal target shooting or for small game or pest shooting. Another excellent choice for general use would be one of the several versions of the Browning Buck Mark. In my experience, they are extremely accurate and reliable, and the Buck Mark Standard weighs only 32 to 33 ounces.
