I purchased this Mark 11 new in 2003. I don't shoot it much but when I do makes me look like a better marksman. I changed the front sight to one with interchangeable color inserts

The Mark II's are my favorite of the Mark series, very well made. I've had 6 of them, down to 3 now. But now that my eyes are old I like red dots and green dots. So I bought a (drilled and tapped) Mark IV and mounted a Viridian green dot. Still not selling my favorite Mark II, though. Fun factor is high on all the Mark series.
I wonder what a gunsmith would charge to drill and tap a Mark II.
 
Last year I decided to get additional magazines. Ruger site showed out of stock. I went to Mecgar's web site and ordered 3. All 3 failed, would load1st round then no more. I contacted MECGAR and
they sent call tag and sent 3 more that also failed. I still have them.
Found 2 in Ruger packaging on Ebay and bought them. The worked.
Checked Ruger's site and they no longer show MK11 magazines for sale.

I found a very nice used MKII Target thin barrel at one of the LGS a few months ago for $225 OTD. With box and 3 mags. Found a couple more used factory mags for $20 each. Changed to a set of Pachmyer G10 grips. Installed a Hammer Strut Support (buy now he’s having a retirement sale). Boy it’s a shooter.

hittman: I missed the MK 11 magazines on Ruger's online site. When I tried to order last year MK 11 magazines were out of stock.
 
Being a smart ass, I'll ask, "What happened to the Mks 5 through 10?"

Nice gun, I have three Mk IIs and used one for years for bullseye competition for years. They will eat just about any ammo, very tolerant of not being cleaned, and way more accurate than most people can appreciate.

The same thing that happened to to World Wars 3-10.
 
I walked into a gun show back in 2017 and stumbled onto this one. It was as new but did not have the factory box with it. I bought it for $350 out the door. I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. I did add the Volquartsen internals, wood grips and fiber optic front sight to it.

The Somali incestuous Congress Woman thinks that the the Roman Numeral II (2) is eleven also
 
Love the MKII’s! My favorite pistol ever , I have 8 or 9 I think.Id have to count, theyv are in all different barrel configurations and lengths.
 
Always wanted a Mark I but heard they were notoriously hard to put back together. Then along came the Mark II. As they say "the rest is history. Love my Mark II

Speaking of MK II mags, flyer today from Midway has MecGar brand MK II mags for $13.50 each.

Are those about the same as the Ruger mags,except for the floor plates having Ruger on them?I figure the mag bodies may be made by MecGar for Ruger, just guessing
