Just tried a new Ruger MKIII Target

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I bought a new Ruger MKIII Target and tried it a the range.

I used to shoot a Beretta W-76 and a Browning Challenger II and I was looking at the Ruger as a pistol that seems cheaper and of less quality! But I was surprise by the Ruger!

Ok, the pistol was new and I had some problem reassembling it! So I went to the range, took what ammo they had (wildcat 40gr HV / it is hard to find cheaper ammo.....) and start shooting at 10 meters....

Ho surprise: out of the box, after a good cleaning only, with cheap ammo, I was putting most of my shots in the black center.....not a single jam..not a single problem with either mag...the pistol is perfect.

My opinion on the Ruger has changed. It is a very good pistol and I am certain that after breaking it a while and with good quality ammo it will outperform some much higher priced pistol!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new MKIII (They are great pistols). The field strip process will get much easier with a little practice :wink:

yeah, take it apart a couple more times and you don't even think about how to do it-

Having shot the old MK I Target in competition and now having a new MK III Target to plink around with I am impressed, but not surprised, at the inherent accuracy of it. Straight out of the box, at 50 feet, it put ten in a 1 1/2 in circle off a rolled up blanket (sandbag of the day). They ARE fun guns.
