I wouldn't buy either. My hands don't like how they feel. Same reason I'm not a fan of Glocks. The grip shapes leave me feeling like I'm holding a squared off piece of lumber.
And I just received three more new Mk 3 magazines and one of the bunch also exhibits the same ejection issues as one of the two that came with the gun. Interesting. Three of five drop free, two do not.
Remove the mag, clear the pistol, lock the bolt open. Look up in the mag well. If the screws are too long you'll see them peeking through.
Can not in jail.
Well, Oribital, I'll certainly keep your observations in mind. You seem observant, for sure.
Thanks!

I don't have a horse in the race but I can't help but be put off by how involved the Rugers are to take apart.
If I was buying a Ruger today I would opt for one of the new alloy frame models of the Mk III but not the 22/45. I was talking to BJ Norris, who I have known for a few years, at this year's NSSF Rimfire World Championship. I noticed he had switched from his scandium framed S&W 1911 w/TacSol conversion to an alloy framed Mk III w/TacSol upper. He told me quite accidentally he found that the Luger grip angle of the Mk III actually made it point faster than other .22s he has used for years and he had improved his speed as a result.
