Originally posted by PALADIN85020 Here's another firearms picture I took with the SMC-DA 35mm Macro Ltd. These two pistols were manufactured 66 years apart. The top one is a Ruger Standard .22 pistol, manufactured in mid-1950. It's one of the very first guns made by Sturm, Ruger and Co. The bottom one is the evolved Ruger Mark IV target pistol, made in 2016. You can see the family resemblance.

Nice product shots, John. My father was a big fan of Rugers, in his target-shooting days in the 1960s.
The visual appeal of the DA35 limited and these pistols is the fine workmanship and obvious mechanical refinement.
