Okay, seriously

WHAT IS WITH the Ruger Mk. III mags being completely gone?

Even the Ruger website doesn't have any, having 2 ten round magazines is incredibly irritating.

I don't understand WHY it is so hard to press a few of them out, OBVIOUSLY the demand is high enough. Ruger makes most of my favorite non-milsurp guns and yet it seems like they are trying to make me hate them.

I just don't see what is keeping them from keeping up with demand. They are a very popular manufacturer with a very popular rimfire handgun.

I hate to say it, and I could be wrong, but Ruger almost certainly contracts out the magazine manufacturing to someone in a low cost country, and probably have to wait for a 90 day (at best) production lead time plus a 120 day over the water shipping time to get their next container of magazines delivered.

You know.... usually when someone posts something like this, I can google up somewhere that has X-widget that was being complained about.

But you're right! I looked at about a dozen very popular online retail sights and didn't find ANY in stock.

I did find a great price on them, though, here: Impact Guns - Ruger MKIII 22LR Magazine, 10rd Whenever they are back in stock.

This seems likely. Best I can tell, there were still some around back in July, so maaaaybe I might be able to find some for myself around my birthday....

Last time I was in Applied Ballistics, they had some hanging on the wall for sale.

Not the 22/45. I called and asked.

you can use Mark II mags in your pistol. They just wont eject free of the gun You will have to pull them out by hand.

I had to get some MkIII mags for the MkI. You have to reverse the little doodad that slides down the side, then you have to tweak the plastic at the base because they don't want to engage, or disengage, one or the other.

Try CDNN SPORT, they should have the mags

Pick up one of these. It loads your mags so fast you could get by with only 1 mag. It's what I did since I haven't been able to find mags for my MKIII 22/45 for over a year.

Anyone who says they tried this and it didn't work, they just didn't take the time to fine tune things and spray a burst of silicone spray into a bulk pack of .22. I load my mags in under 2 seconds every time.

It's not the mags you want...but it's the next best thing. Might be my new favorite non-gun, shooting related item. I might take it over my Uplula.

They don't.

I have also been looking for those magazines with no luck.

Try having just one

FYI- MidwayUSA has the Ruger Mark III mags in stock. The Mark III 22/45s are still out of stock.

Brownells has both, but they are more expensive.
