The little finger-grooves at the back of the receiver made the MKII easier to cock, too. The MKII was just a better mousetrap all the way around. The MKIII is a big step backwards.wwb":bhgl1zna said:The ONLY shortcomings of the first generation were the use of the safety as a bolt lock, and the lack of a last shot hold-open feature. The Mark II took care of these problems.[/b]

damn!
here i have been all proud of my MIII i bought last christmas....LOVED it until now
now i find i have bought a PIECE OF CRAP!
I'M SELLING IT TODAY! NO, STRIKE THAT, I'M GIVING IT AWAY!!!
i hope nobody says anything bad about my SR9 or my 1911
:wink:
I voted for the MkII but that's not to say the MkIII is junk. I have a stainless steel MkII Target model and don't see anything in the MkIII, except for the mag release, that is any improvement. The LCI, mag disconnect and internal lock are only 3 new potential areas for problems.810wmb":qdr82ysx said:![]()

Wouldn"t ever say nothin' bad about a 1911 - sure wish Ruger would build one... I'd add it to my collection real quick.
The SR9...... well, momma always said, "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say anything at all."
Also don't like the fluted bull barrels and the only non-fluted bull barrels are 5 1/2" and I'd want 6 7/8".
