Handgun Evaluation; Ruger MKIII 22/45
I purchased a 22/45, blued, 5.5" bull barrel last December because Gander Mountain had them on sale for $200. I added the VQ target trigger and sear.
Positives: The pistol has the Ruger accuracy and reliability. The polymer grip frame makes it a bit lighter than the steel versions. The grip angle is a match for 1911's. It shot with great accuracy and precision out of the box.
Negatives: The grip is thin, making it not as good as fatter grips. I question whether the polymer grip frame will last as long as the steel Rugers.
Overall: The skinny grips turned out to be a non-issue. I like the target sights a bit better than the sights on the 22A. Shoots darned well up to 25 yards. If you like the feel, you can't go wrong with this pistol.
