Talo Mark III HELP!!!

[heffe3434]

I have this gun, cant hit a thing with it. (I know it's me and not the gun.)
I just got a 22 conversion for my 1911 and can't miss with it. I will never be able to get what I paid for the MarkIII new. What I would consider selling it for is what someone could buy a new "bare bones" MarkIII now. So what do I do? Any suggestions would be great.... No I am not going to give to someone

Could be the grip angle. I also found it a little hard to get used to but after a while I got used to it and it was extremely accurate. The weight of the mkIii also may be a factor. I would give it some time.

If you don't get used to it, you might want to look at the 22/45. The Ruger 22/45 is basically a mkiii but lighter due to the polymer frame and it duplicates the grip angle of a 1911.

I don't think you'll have any trouble selling it if that is what you ultimately decide. In fact, pm me if you do.

Good luck.

Are you asking how to get rid of it or how to shoot better with it? If the latter, I'd suggest getting a red dot and trying that. I have a 3 moa dot on my mkIII and it is by far my most accurate pistol.

I have NEVER seen a Ruger Mk III that WASN'T a tack driver...meaning all that I have shot (probably 12-15 different ones) were ALL extremely accurate.

Which set of sites does your version have? They should be adjustable.

Personally, my next .22 handgun will either be a MKIII Hunter model or the Ruger Single 10 revolver.

And i will 2nd the comment, if you decide you don't want it, let me know.

It is in all likelyhood not the gun. It never is. With that said have you had someone else that is an experienced shoother shoot it? Try it and see how they do with the gun. It isn't impossible that something is screwed up but if they are accurate with the gun at least you know where the problem really is. You may also try shooting from a rest at fairly close range to see where it groups.

sand bag it and see if it's you or the gun....
