You beat me to it. With a little trigger work, some custom grips, a
barrel weight, and a red dot sight, you'd have a really first class
target gun. One of the guys I shoot against on Wednesday morning has
a Mark III tricked out like that and he's always in the top 3.

Next question - Which one, or are they all pretty much the same?

I really don't know. Lacking any additional info, I would probably
pick this one:

Price: $329.95 Ruger 10101 MKIII512 Mark III Target 22LR 5.5"
10+1 Black Syn Grip

I suspect that if you Google around a little you will probably find
some opinions out there. I have no knowledge at all of the newer
22/45 but the Mark III is certainly tried and true.

And of course, the Mark III is not allowed to be sold in Massachusetts.
I have no clue why. I know a few people who have a Mark I that was
grandfathered but you can't legally purchase a Mark II or Mark III.

Still here in SC. Been checking on a few potential properties. Going
to spend Christmas day with my son and his family then head back north.
Not looking forward to the drive.

Absolutely. I have a Mark I that's in very good condition. Great shooting pistol, very accurate.

I hear they are not the easiest to strip for cleaning.

The first time is a little intimidating but it really is not that
difficult once you learn a couple of little tricks, most of which
involve getting the hammer in the right position. There are a number
of good YouTube videos which show you how to do it. On balance I
think it's easier than a 1911.

MA probably wants Ruger to totally redesign the Mark III to *their* specs.

I totally agree with comments on assembly of the Ruger. If you have to force the latch on the back of the handle, it's not right. Stuff can bend. I found that out the hard way. I had to take it to a dealer and have it repaired. That's the only thing i didn't like about it.

Bye my dad bought it new in their 60's for a while $40.00! It was a Ruger "standard" pre- mark series but still the same thing. It's had hundreds of rounds put throught it with no mishaps and is still about as accurate as ever.

The first Mark III I bought, I thought the disassembly/re-assembly
routine was nuts, especially the re-assembly. But then I watched a vid
on YouTube that showed what to do...and suddenly I could do it without a
lot of bother and cursing.

There are two basic styles and a bunch of models within those styles,
one style that sorta resembles an old German Luger and the other that
sorta has the ergonomics of a 1911 .45, or at least the grip. I'm not
really sure if a .22LR pistol "shaped" or operated like a .45 is really
much of a training device for the .45, because the aiming, recoil, and
muzzle flip of the centerfire is totally different. But, as the fellow
once said, opinions vary. :)

Harry what I've read about Rugers 'standard' .22 is that it was loosly patterned after the WW2 Japanese Nambu which has similar profile of the Luger
