For more than 40 years, Ruger has been making their Mark series 22LR semi-auto pistols. This is the current 'standard' version of the Mark III with classic tapered barrel.

Functional Elegance – Ruger MkIII 22/45
Odds are, if someone owns more than 2 pistols, at least one is a Ruger Mark I, II, or III semi-auto. These pistols are know for their reliability, ease of shooting, and accuracy. While not the easiest to field strip and reassemble – they rarely need much more than a good cleaning of the action and are much less finicky about 22LR brands than many other pistols.
The Ruger Mark III pictured is a special edition we recently received with rich blueing, slab-sided barrel, and laser-engraved hardwood grips. This Mark III has the 22/45 grip profile – a square grip shape more similar to the Colt 1911 than the standard Mark III. Mark III’s come standard with two 10 round magazines and are pre-drilled and tapped for an included weaver scope rail. At $349.00, it will provide a lifetime of enjoyment at the range.
