For me both shoot equally well with the Browning having the better trigger out of the box and the Ruger being slightly more reliable. I replaced the rail on my MKIV with a Madd Macs base to mount the RDS as low as possible. I can get a co-witness with the irons using the Crimson Trace RDS which is very helpful to me in acquiring the dot quickly. I use the rail on my Buckmark which puts the dot higher and irons unusable unless the dot is removed Charter Member Ancient order of the 1895 Winchester "It's an insecure and petite man who demands all others like what he likes and dislike what he dislikes." szihn

The Marvel is also available with a threaded muzzle. Every day’s an adventure.

The Taurus is accurate, has a good factory trigger is threaded and you can get a ton of accessories for it. My first Taurus and I am impressed.

Tru-Glo "red-dot" sights. I have bonked Ground Squirrels with these set-ups out to 75 yards. Great fun this. Go with the Ruger MK heavy barrel line or one of the Browning BuckMark heavy barrels - add a red dot sight - thank me later. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
