Thanks to steveo3318 today, my Ruger MkI is no longer lonely.............

I meet steveo3318 today to buy his Ruger MkIII 22/45 that has had all the "MkIII safety features" removed.

Since the 22/45 was introduced way back, I have wanted one (but not real bad....). Well, that "want" is satisfied....

My old MkI was bought brand new from the old Surplus City (concrete building on Hwy. 80) in 1978 for $125 (retail). I bought it after I discovered I could shoot handguns fairly well after shooting a college buddy's gun. Yes, my first handgun.

The Tasco 1X scope was added to shoot the Chevy Truck Team Challenge and S&W Masters national matches. But that was long ago.......

Hope to take the MkIII out for a test drive this weekend. The MkI trigger is MUCH better than the MkIII. Damn lawyers....

You beat me to that second one. I was hoping you'd had two flat tires on the way to get it so I could say you weren't comin' . What makes a R.E. Lee Edition? I think it came with two sets of grips, were the others for R.E. Lee? Nice pistols there SGF.

Nice buy! Might see you at the range this weekend. I've got a new (well, at least new to me) item that someone is bringing.

SubGunFan, I’ve got one of those 22/45’s also. I’m pleased with it.

However, there have been some problems.

I’ve entered some postings about my experiences in the topic, “Ruger 22/45 pistol”, at:
http://www.msgunowners.com/t4464-ruger-22-45-pistol.

You may find it of some interest.

You wrote, in part, “Hope to take the MkIII out for a test drive this weekend. The MkI trigger is MUCH better than the MkIII.” While I don’t think that I’ve commented on that before, I’d have to agree with you...the 22/45 trigger is not the best!

Enjoy it.

I have enjoyed my MkIII 22/45. The trigger is good enough for me, and it's cheap to shoot!

nothing makes it a Robert E. Lee edition. i posted it on Martin Luther king day, which i call Robert E. Lee day lol, It was just a sales pitch, not an edition lol sorry for that confusion
