Update on Ruger MKlll
« on: June 18, 2005, 10:03:31 PM »
A while back I picked up a mklll 5.5 blued pistol. I was hearing people talk about there guns jamming. I didnt believe it until it happend to me. I dont mean a failure to feed. This gun locked up so tight with a round almost all the way in the chamber. There was just enough room to get a small screwdriver wedged in and pry the damn thing open. It took two of us to do it.  Could be there is something about the new chamber loaded indicator doing this? I dont care what did it. The gun now has a new home far away from me. I could not recomend the mk111 to anyone. I was a dedicated ruger 22 autoloader fan before this for many years. NOT NOW.

I have always loved the Ruger MKII's, got three of them and was planning on getting a few more. The loaded chamber indicator on the MKIII changed my mind. Ruger has lost my business as far as hand guns go.
