Picked up a new Mark III 22/45 on Monday. Just the plain Jane, not the RP. Took it to the range Tuesday. Put a couple of hundred rounds through her. Remington, Winchester and CCI. Couple of rounds didn't fire. One stovepie. No failure to feeds. I got home and stripped and cleaned her. Had a few "Oh, so that's how it goes.". I am a happy camper. Second Ruger, first semi auto pistol. Not the last of either.

My Mark III 22/45 shoots great with Winchester Power Points. Bought it, made several mods including a red dot scope and somehow got it back together.

Very pleased.

The Ruger website has videos regarding disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of the Mark III. Short but informative.

I just got one a couple of weeks ago and they can be a little tricky to put back together. I had some old Winchester Dyna-Points that choked in mine, but nothing else did so far.

After adding Volquartsen triggers to both my MK IIIs (Target and 22/45RP Target) and taking them apart a couple times it becomes very easy. Patience is the key.

The Zen of gun disassembly and assembly. You're right Fox Mike. Went to the range again Thursday. Once again no problems with 3 types of ammo. Got home and diassembled, cleaned and reassembled her. It was easier than the first time. How are the Volquartsen triggers? Was it hard to change over?

I have the Volquartsen trigger & sear in mine and it makes a difference. The biggest difference is in the Clark MK-II bushing. It does away with the mag safety and improves the trigger pull a bunch.

Here's the place to go to if you want to learn about working on your Ruger. Plenty of pictures and lot of info on the forum. Good luck.
