    Anyone own a Ruger MKIII

    I have been eyeing these for a little while. Are they a good pistol or should I stay away?

    Anyone own one?

    Try to find a MK-II if you can. The MK-III has a few undesirable features such as a magazine disconnect and a loaded chamber indicator.

    I've got both MkII and MkIII versions - they are both fine. This is a range, hunting gun and I don't mind the magazine cut off so much.

    I'd steer you to the new Government model - polymer, 1911 style frame with provision for custom 1911 panels in the grips. I have the older version without the panel feature and it's a great shooter and all but I'd like to be able to widen the grips a bit.

    I have a MkI I bought new years ago. Extremely accurate pistol. Once shot a crow off the top of a utility pole from around 50 yards with it.
