Ordered a Mark III Target Model

LOL.... Let us know how it works for you and some pictures, with a range report...... would be nice.

I've got the Mark I, II and a Mark III 22-45. So far so good.

Did you get it yet? Love my MK III Target!

I bought the Mark III Hunter model. It's the same gun but weighs 6oz less than the Target model because it has a fluted barrel. This makes it easier to carry around all day while hunting. After a long day of hunting that 6oz makes a difference. As far as accuracy the reviews I read by people who own both say that the Hunter is just as accurate as the Target model. When you get ready to buy a holster check out Amazon.com. They sell one specially made for the Mark III. It is double stitched in all the places that get the most stress. It has a pocket for your extra magazine and has the Ruger Emblem embossed right into the leather. For $65 dollars it can't be beat. I've seen holsters that were of much less quality and durability selling for much more and they were not made specificity for the Mark III. It comes in two styles. One is a regular holster and the other is slotted so you can mount your choice of optics be it a scope or a red/green dot. I have a Bushnell Trophy red/green optic on mine with 5 brightness settings for both red and green. It also has 4 images. Small dot, large dot, cross hair and a circle with a dot in the center. I hope you enjoy shooting yours as much as I enjoy mine. Hope I was of some help and don't forget to check out that holster.

My MKIII target will group like this or better all day long at 25 meters .. 5 rounds ... if I do my part. :tennis: M1911

I looked for almost two years before I found the Ruger Mark III I was after. Found this one at Williams Gun Sight Co. in Michigan:



When the Mark III first came out, the flurry to get one was fast and furious. During early production many of these pistols made it out the door with burrs and sharp edges that actually drew blood if they were left in place.
Once I got into the inside of the grip frame with needle files and stones, the above pistol shot just as well, and even better than some of the ruger Mark II's.
