Ok I finally got a chance to do a little more breaking in on my brand new Ruger Mark III 22/45 Lite. My results are that it is your stereotypical Ruger handgun. It isnt finicky when it comes to what you feed it. I used Remington Golden Bullets, Winchester hollow points, some NOS CCI hollow points and it gobbled them all up. Had a few dud rounds that were indented well by the firing pin but obviously had internal primer problems. So not the guns fault. Stereotypical Ruger 2.5 mile takeup on the trigger. I dont know why Ruger will not get their head out of their arses when it comes to their triggers. The sights were adjustable but that did not do me much good considering they were dark and I just did not find them comfortable at all. Front was metal ramp and rear was square cutout. Not exactly for precision considering they covered POI completely up. Back to the trigger...yup you guessed it...stereotypical Ruger gritty...just like a factory 10/22. Both magazines would NOT drop free from the pistol and were a pain to get out of the gun. Ive had a Mark II 22/45(bought new) and I dont remember it ever having that problem. The pistol needs a little bit of work and $$ for some replacement custom parts. Ill be starting with the trigger and sights.
On the up side.. When they say LITE....they mean it! Never had any failure to fire (gun fault) nor any failure to extract or load.
Ill update post with some pics of groups AFTER I rework the trigger and sight "problems".
Dont get me wrong, the pistol is worth having if you are in the market for a .22 semi auto pistol. Just expect to spend a little bit more money to make the owner happy.
