Let me start by saying the Mark iii is an awesome gun. If you buy one, you won't regret it. They are super accurate out of the box.

That being said, I prefer the Mark ii. It's not because it's more accurate(it's not. They are both very accurate IMO) or cheaper. It's merely because of the familiarity with it and the emotional connection. The Mark ii was the first .22 handgun I shot, and I just love it. I like the feel, the weight, etc.

In the end, both are great guns. If you get a chance, shoot both models and see which you prefer.
