I agree: for the money, the Ruger Mk II is
worth every penny.  I have the 5" bull-barrel with
a Ruger Single-Six front sight.  Just be sure that
if you buy a Mk II (not Mk I) it does not have 
the defective thumb safety.  Ruger issued a recall about these
guns and will fix them for free.  The test is to put
the gun on safe, pull the trigger and move the safety to
F.  If the hammer drops, it's recalled.

I also suggest that you buy a plastic magazine
loading tool.  It will save a lot of wear on your
fingers.

With a small file and 600 wet-and-dry sand paper,
you can really smooth out the stamped parts and  
considerably improve the trigger pull.
