    Have fun with it, take it out and feed the beast. Don't forget to get at least 5 magazines.

        My dad had a Mark II back in the 80s and I always wanted one for myself. It took me until last month to finally get a Mark III 22/45. So happy.

          Congrats!
          IMO the taper barreled ones look better then the bull barrels. Classic lines, I guess.
          I love my MKI678 (6 7/8th long heavy taper barrel)
          Someday I'll have to add a 4 inch standard like yours to my collection.

                Generally no.
                The whole Ruger MK line (MKI-III & 22/45's) are some of the most reliable 22LR pistols that is still in production.

                  Can't go wrong with a Ruger.

                      Just got mine a couple of months ago. It's a keeper.

                      I guess I will need to look for a couple more mags as well.

                        I've got the Mark III and a Buckmark. Great guns. The Ruger came with two mags.

                        It may be a dumb question, but for what reason does a person need more? I only take one mag to the range. I load it, shoot it, load it, shoot it and so on.

                        Besides, with .22LR in short supply, I don't want the ability to blow through a box of ammo any faster.

                          My thinking is the mags may get hard to find in CA.

                          I take both mags to the range, and I load while my daughter shoots, then vice versa. A couple of more would be nice.

                            Some ranges charge by the hour so if you arrive with extra mags already loaded you won't be wasting time loading.

                              No.

                              However, when I shot my new Mark II 22/45 sometimes it did fail to feed.

                              This malfunction was caused by a rough feed ramp that had conspicuous tool marks.

                              I made a mandrel and bob by slitting the end of a .1875-inch rod to hold some cloth.

                              I chucked the mandrel and cloth bob in my die grinder and loaded the bob with polishing compound; then I polished the feed ramp.

                              Since I polished the feed ramp the pistol has functioned flawlessly.
