First off, I'd like to introduce myself. Smitty is my name! And, I am a proud owner of a new Ruger MKIII 22/45. A 51/2 inch removable grip panel rig.
I got it, and installed a VQ sear. Takedown and reassembly were actually quite easy, thanks to Bullseye, and his photo tutorial.
I took it out to the range, and put 200 rounds of CCI MM through it. After making a couple of windage adjustments it was putting 10 rounds into a nickle size area on my target @25 yards (sand bagged)
Then, I put on a cheap BSA reflex sight on it and was shooting grapefruits on the 50 yard line.
So far I am very happy with my new pistol.
I shot up the last of my CCI mini mag ammunition today. So, had to pull out a few bricks of some PMC Zapper .22LR that has been well kept for about 15 years. I looked it over and it still looked new & shiny like it did when I put it away. But within the first mag I had a full casehead separation. I'm a left handed shooter so my thumb got peppered pretty good. No damage to my thumb. But the mini blowout destroyed my (plastic)loaded chamber indicator.
Can I carry on without the parts installed? And Yes... I won't be feeding it any more of my Zapper!! :lol:
