Ruger Mk. III Range Report

[Tom]

Went out to the range with my new Mk. III Competition Target. Put about 150 rounds through it. Great shootin' pistol! The trigger doesn't have much travel, breaks nicely, and has about a 4-5lb pull. The grip and grip angle makes it a natural pointer and the factory sights are great.

The thumbrest grip obscures the mag release if you want to you use your thumb but if you shift your grip around slightly you can press it with your middle finger easily. Not really a big deal, I won't be taking it into combat anytime soon.

It weighs more unloaded than my M&P .40 weighs loaded; about 2 lbs 10 oz vs. the M&P at 2 lbs 1 oz.

20 rounds at about 50 feet.

I have shot them over the years and my dad has a 22/45 and it is a favorite. They probably last at least a lifetime. They are wonderful.
