Once again, we're all here to learn. Maybe I was luckier because the RGB's I tried were the copper plated ones, not the lead round nose hi-velocity Thunderbolts. Regardless, I value the opinions of those more experienced, and I'll stay away from all Remington rimfire ammo. After all, even the CCI mi...

With all the discussion about leaded up barrels, and pitting, etc, I'm happy to say that, partly because my pistol is brand new, after thoroughly cleaning my barrel, it is still in perfect condition. Now that I know better, I plan to keep it that way. If I had an old slightly pitted or etched barrel...

I have to say to all new Ruger Mark III Owners, read, read, and then read again and learn something from this forum! My new pistol is only 10 days old, and because of information gathered here, I now have a Ruger Mark III 22/45 that field strips easily, and is minus the mag safety! I've "saved" the ...

Here are some links to pics of my thumbsaver. It works like a charm. It is simply a rectangle the size of the clip outer dimensions cut into a discarded piece of plastic. What helped is that my plastic was a good shape (curved) and fit into my hand easily. If I took a little more time with it, I cou...

Thanks for the heads up on the Remingtons. The CCI's that I tried were indeed Mini Mags (36 grain copper plated hollow points). I prefer to use copper plated rounds in general. So even though the Remington Golden Bullets are also copper plated, they tend to lead up barrels? That's very good to know....

ToyFJ40 has to get credit for the cable tie idea. I read that in one of his earlier posts and had one ready before I picked up my pistol the first day. Also, to anyone who has tried to load up the Ruger clips, they should have included a cheap plastic device to help hold down the thumb button. I act...

Well, I've taken my new Mark III 22/45 to two different ranges on two occasions since the day I got it. (Just a few days ago). It has not let me down yet. The first night it went through a box of 100 CCI....'s with no failures in any way. Today, I went to an outdoor range and spent hours there, pump...

First of all, I have to express my thanks to Bullseye for the excellent job of explaining the field strip procedures of my new pistol. As a new owner of a Mark III 22/45, I have to say that it put to rest any second thoughts I had about buying one. I heard many times that is is a PITA to field strip...
