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.

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.

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. 😀

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.

Well, I went with the Walther. Will give a report on its reassembly
when I get it.

It will be interesting to see how the one you bought breaks down.
On the PPK/2 you pull the trigger guard down and to one side that
then allows you to release the barrel assembly. Very simple.
