when you are at work and asking yourself, "What am I doing here?" it is time to think of a quicker exit.
Hate to say it, but I think this about every day, and I've got several more years to go...

1. Yes, a learning experience and a fun one.
2. Now that retirement looms, and my income being cut a $1000/mo. I'm going to have to behave myself and probably have to downsize my more expensive toys.
3. I thought I had a few more years of being "rich," but I'm hard-pressed to put in even 1 more year, as opposed to going 5 more years to 70 yrs. old like I always planned: when you are at work and asking yourself, "What am I doing here?" it is time to think of a quicker exit.
4. Your point (as well as KJQ's point is not lost on me): I need not repeat my gun approach to slides.
5. It would not be a fun journey as was the guns. I believe both of you, and appreciate you taking the time to keep me from a rabbit hole.
6. As usual, I thought I'd be able to have some fun on the cheap, but as my daughter says when I spend real money to get another house, car or go on a real vacation (like she has advised for years before death do as part): "See, I told you! When will you listen to me?"
7. Actually, our expensive Maine vacation was not worth it, but we were just celebrating going anywhere with my wife's health recovered, so I was not being overly-analytical as per my usual modus operandi.
8. Warning heeded! (I got my money refunded)
Ok, I'm going to throw something out there completely different, if you want to have some fun.
So, I know you like 22 LR's, and that you are mostly a handgun guy (as am I), but that you seem to have some interest in optics.
O. Having a handgun with an optic does hold out some promise for diversity and fun as a variation on a theme.
1. Right, don't do any rifles: sold my last one (Henry lever-action, that I loved).
For something completely different, step outside the handgun box and get an S&W 15-22 and add a fairly inexpensive Primary Arms red dot... if you don't have fun with that combination, not sure you know how to have fun.
Or, if wanting to stay handguns, you could go with a Ruger Mark IV or one of your already existing 22's (Buckmark, etc) with a rail and add a Primary Arms red dot of some sort.
2. I presently have two Mark 4 (a 22/45 and another "Target" style grip that has a different angle), Buckmark, two S/W 22A-1, Colt Target and Beretta Neos, S/W Victory, and a GSG and R.I.A. 1911 style 22LR.
3. One of those should be able to take an optic.
Those are some fairly cheap suggestions that will put a smile on your face and should hold up. My PA red dot has held up nicely on my 15-22 (as none of my suggestions have a moving slide involved, and PA while not being a top tier optic by any means is pretty well regarded). The 15-22 with the red dot is what I hand to anyone new to shooting who goes to the range with me. That and some steel plates always brings a smile.
Here is a link to primary arms, specifically a link to a Bushnell TRS-25. You should be able to mount it to a rail on your mark 4. The TRS is the cheapest little dot that will give you solid results day after day. Look into their catalog a bit and you'll find the primary arms branded dots that are also excellent values and reliable.
Yes that is a great red dot for cheap. They are nice on top of ruger mk3's and I can't see why not on a mark 4.

You mount it on the receiver and not the barrel. Amazon has TRS-25 for $47.00 everyday.1. Both Mark 4s that I have, have a smooth barrel with no place to attach an optic.
2. I wonder how many of my other guns do not allow an optic as well.

Green: one thing always leads to another, does it not?!
Lol at least this rabbit hole doesn't end in the shadows lol. I thought you had rails already that's my bad, but you'll love it. Red dots really shine when you train two eyes open and can really make transitions fast. On your 6 target sheets you can start working different orders -2 top left transition 2mid right etc... That kind of training will pay off of you start shooting Friday night steel.
