Got me a Ruger Mark III stainless fluted barrel with cocobolo wood grips and fiber optic front sight today.  I'm getting ready to go shoot it later this afternoon.

A beautiful gun and probably not a better .22 pistol in production today.

Thanks,

Thanks.   I really like this one.

I have the old Mark I with a bull barrel that's had multipole-thousands of rounds through it. I bought that gun in 1974 when I shot with the shooting team, U.S. Army Reserve Center (Bowman Field) in Louisville, Kentucky. Most shooters were shooting High Standard or S&W target pistols at that time. That Ruger was the first of its kind in that area. It was certainly not as pretty as the other guns I shot against but every time I did what I was supposed to do, it did its part. That pistol gained a lot of respect in those years.

The only mistake I ever made with it, was taking it apart for cleaning. Taking it apart was easy, putting back together was...impossible. What I learned was that the pistol will shoot for thousands of rounds without being cleaned, except for putting some copper washed rounds down the bore. That's basically all I've done in the last several decades whenever groups start to degrade.

I have learned to put it back together but don't recommend it to anyone without lots of time and a high level of patience.

Thanks,
Clark
