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



Aha! The plot thickens.

All the Ruger .22LR semi-auto pistols I've shot, maybe seven of them,
have been nice shooters, decent triggers, accurate, and no problems
firing even El Cheapo ammo.

You're right Harry. They're a good quality gun in their respective price range. Not for everyone, but still...

Btw. There was a version of the Mark series with a built in silencer made for use by the Navy Seals...

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.

Huh?
I don't think there is anything easier than a 1911.
You can take one apart in about 2 seconds.

(Pull the slide back half way until the notch lines up, pull out the
slide stop and let it go)
I can put one back together blindfolded in less than an minute. That
is a bet I have won many times.

My woodsman is a trick. I don't do it very often and I always eb\nd up
scratching my head for a minute before I remember that little spring
steel doodad you have to engage.

Ruger Mark III's, not 1911's. 😀

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.


Magazine is too big? 10


No, it's not a magazine issue. That requirement can be easily met.
It probably has something to do with the trigger pull or type of
safeties. Or, it fired in the drop test. Who knows.

They make the same basic gun and call it a compensator.
I bet if you slipped a swim noodle over the barrel it would be pretty
quiet. ... "but it would be wrong" - R Nixon

Ruger offers a couple of models of its .22LR pistol with a threaded
barrel to make attachment of a silencer simple.

Ruger Mark III's, not 1911's. ?

Richard referred to the 1911.

And so did I, comparing breakdown effort of the Ruger III vs a 1911. I
think it's mostly a matter of what you've had the most practice with
but it always seems to take me a couple of tries to get a 1911 back
together properly.

From the air, anything west of the Applachians appears pretty
desolate.

Having ridden and driven across the country a few times, I can
honestly say it's all beautiful - as long as you stay out of the inner
cities.
