Just have to show this beauty off. Picked her up today and after a couple of hours of diligent indepth scrubbing and reassembly, I'm happy to say she conducts herself with grace and accuracy. Ruger Mark III Hunter is her name.
It's the 4th Ruger I've purchased this year. Others include a 1911 Commander; LC9s Pro; and a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Love them all, but special attention is being paid to the MK III at present.
It's already got the best dern sights on it.... any cheap red dot will work... try to find one with a 1 MOA dot (smaller) one and also once you get it ... keeping the dot on a minimum illumination setting works better than it's brightest one.
