Ruger Mark III redemption

[straight-shooter]

I have officially redeemed myself. I made a error in bad judgement and sold a Ruger .22 pistol earlier. Yesterday there was a thanksgiving weekend sale at the local fun shop. There it was just begging for a home. A Ruger Mark III Target Bull Barrel wanting to go out to the range. When the range opens today you know where i'll be!

I did the same thing. Luckly the Ruger .22 pistols are not that expensive when on sale. Happy shooting.

Congrats on the Mk III. You'll love it.

Been thinking about one of those, my friend in Yuma bought one. Does anyone know what the stock trigger is like on those compared to a 1911? It sure would be cheaper to shoot, wife started complaining about $$ for ammo.

The trigger is lighter on mine compared to my stock 1911 triggers. Not quite as clean of a break as a 1911 but still a very nice trigger.

Good luck

Great choice. The Mark III is a very good gun. I've got the stainless, slab barrel, target model and really enjoy shooting it. I replaced the sights with a V-notch Hi-Viz (kept the original ones in case I want to switch back). Very accurate and fun to shoot.

I have a Ruger Mark III bullnose and they are extremely accurate, cheap to shoot and a joy to own. Congrats!

Put a red dot on that baby, and you will shoot 1" groups.

yea, its a great pistol and will shoot your eye out......kinda of a hassle to field strip but not bad after you do it a few times.

Yes, thanks to the OP for confirming that selling one’s Mk III Bull bbl target pistol is a bad idea – I shall keep mine always.

 

[straight-shooter]

Selling mine certainly was not one of my brighter moments

I'm glad to have one back in my stable and it's here to stay this time!

Actually it is the Ruger factory stainless finish with a hand-rubbed Johnson & Johnson paste wax application.

Grip update:

I took the Ruger to the range for a break in and to get it sighted. Once sighted this thing was singin'. Nice and accurate but only one thing I didn't care for. The grips.... I just changed them out for the Hogue finger grooves with the thumbrest. Feels mucho better!
