From old post:
I had a couple of post about the MKIII that seem to have dropped off the end of the world here; here they are again.
Ruger 22/45 MKIII (P45GCMKIII)
=========================================================
First off, this is a
small pistol. The frame is WAY thinner than the MKII; Check out the pic of the frames side by side. Overall, I am really liking the feel. Hopefully I will be able to get it out shooting on Sunday.
(Sorry for the blurry pics.. it's late. :b )
============================================================
I took my 22/45 MKIII out to the range today. (for my lunch break! :lol )
I only had time to put about 150 rounds through it. Not one FTF or FTE, quite happy about that. One thing I was concerned about was the fixed sights. Quite happy once again, it seems to be hitting POI at 15-20 yards, windage is correct. Today I was more focused on function (ie shooting things :b ) I did put a few rounds on target though:
Not too shabby.
LCI
A dirty muzzle is a happy muzzle.
So far I am very happy with this pistol.
==========================================================
I feel I should mention something about the additional "features", like the LCI, internal lock and mag disconnect. I didn't even think about them, and I didn't notice any difference to shooting my MKII. Load the mag, shoot, repeat. The internal lock (you can see a little hole below the safety) you can easily forget about; I won't be using it, opting to use a combonation trigger lock instead. The LCI actually looks kinda neat when it is "engaged." Overall this pistol is very nice, and toight, toight like sha tiger! :lol The mags snap in really nice, and it ejects brass flawlessly so far. You can see that the ejection port is a bit bigger, cut better IMO.
