Ruger MK III

[USAFGopherMike]

I bought one few months back love it as much as the old mkii I had as a kid. The first thing I did was get one of these http://bushing.webs.com/ to get rid of the mag d/c and over at rimfirecentral there's a guy selling filler pieces for that plastic chamber indicator.

May have to pick one of those up. Thanks for the link.

My wife got a Mk III Hunter for her birthday. We shot it at the range a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was pretty good out of the box. There were 3 guys at the range shooting mk III's as well. They told me they had done the bushing replacment and had a guy in town remove round in chamber indicator on the side and replaced it with a milled piece of metal to close the hole. They all had some kind of red dot sites and were shooting 200 yrds with insane accuracy. I got to run a mag through one of these modified Mk III's and was quite impressed. The wife doesn't want to modify hers, so i've got a mk III on my to buy list. I was really impressed.

We bought my wife a MKIII Target SS about a month ago. Totally accurate out of the box. She has struggle a bit with the black on black sights. I think Dawson Precision has the best fiber optic sights for these, unless you really want to go the optics/red dot route. For now she threw some bright nail polish on the front sight. It's also important to note what distance the sights are setup for out of the box as well. I always seem to be right on with the pistol, she shoots low. This is at like 25ft. I explained they probably have it setup for 25yds from the factory, so at 25ft it will shoot low, which had been her problem. Today she was much more accurate, but admitted she had to aim a bit above her intended target. Her groupings are always awesome.

We did a Steel Challenge match the other week and she did very well for being a new shooter and her first time. I think she will do much better in a few weeks when we give it another shot (pun intended).

....maybe pull out the screwdriver and adjust the sights so that POI coincides with POA?
