What should I pay for a 22/45 threaded barrel?

[Three50seven]

I looked at a MKIII 22/45 with the threaded barrel and removable grip panels today at a local shop. It was NIB and they were asking $385 + tax. I see that the MSRP is $440, but this particular shop usually runs a little high, so I would just like to get a feel for what most guys are buying them at.

I already have a MKII 22/45 with 5.5" barrel, but this MKIII looks like it would be a lot handier as an all-around packin' gun. I'm not particularly interested in putting a suppressor on it, but the thread cover gives is kind of a cool look 8)

Normally they can be found for around $350 or a little less but if you want one now I'd go ahead and get it. The supply of guns from Ruger is very thin and you might not find another for a while.

I got mine for 350+tax (asking 375) a few weeks back, the dealer says he is selling them as fast as he can get them. I got some knocked off since I was going to pay LIST for the suppressor.

I bought one at a local gun store for $359 + tax + etc. last Saturday.

I just paid $322 (including shipping + NO TAX) from Buds (Plus another $26.20 to my FFL Buddy for the transfer). I got the PR version (as I have several "dot" sights).

You're going to love a suppressor. It'll make you giggle like a schoolgirl every time you shoot it.

Hopefully you change your mind about getting one.

Thanks all, that's about what I figured they would be running. I'm torn between buying one of those or a Sig Mosquito....

Since I already have one 22/45, I would have plenty of mags, but on the other hand...do I need another 22/45? And then there's the fact that the Sig is considerably lighter, but It has also gotten some iffy reviews...I dunno what to do :shock:

please EXCUSE (& I'm sure that YOU know this - but others may not...) MKII (22/45) Mags are NOT operable in the MKIII! The MKIII has a
"Mag Disconnect Interlock" which the MkII mags will not engage!

You'll be sorry you bought the Sig. I've owned it and the Walther P22, both are on down the road and I do NOT miss them at all.

If you want lighter, grab a Tac Sol Pac Lite. I have that on one of my 22/45s its threaded for my suppressor and makes quite a nice little package.

oh really? No i was not aware of that. Is there a way to modify them to be interchangable? I've never owned a III, only a II and an old RST6.

As for the mosquito, I'm starting to think that theyre not worth the risk....

IIRC, all it takes is a notch in the mag body. Easy to duplicate....

Well I went to a different shop today while the girlfriend was along. They had one of the models with picatinny rails for $359. Since I would like to get her to shoot more, I asked her opinion and let her handle it to see what she thought. She didn't care for the grips, but she handled a 1911 with one-piece hogue grips and really liked the feel. She also decided that the red dot sight would be cool and maybe easier for her to learn to use (I know, I know, don't preach to me on the fundamentals. She can out shoot me with my NM single-six ) Anyway, we decided that it would be a nice addition to the collection. I took the seemingly useless rail off the bottom already, and I also see a suppressor in the future 8)

$324 plus taxes here in Memphis. That's the fixed sights model.

 

[longgunnm]

You know every ONCE in a while luck strikes. Used fixed sight model, no nothing, no box, no papers, one magazine, woods grips $235. I got lucky, ONCE.

Now you can get you a new Ruger lite 22/45 threaded barrel and the GF can have her new gun with the dot sight.
