I purchased a mag loader on eBay about 6 months ago that serves me well and fits Mark I, II and III. It is very simple in design and cost $9.99 + $1.95 shipping. http://i3.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/bf/2c/6757_1.JPG Here is the link to the eBay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/SPEED-LOADER-for-RUGER-MARK-1-2-...

I will call Ruger in regard to the hammer pivot pin. Playing around with the pin position, when I push it in toward the right to where the flat head is tight against the frame, the trigger pull has an annoying initial "catch". When I push it in slightly back to the left (with a small gap between the...

Maybe the photos will show the hammer pivot pin walking more clearly. The position of the sear spring into the pivot pin groove is with the pin to the far left position (as shown in photos 2 and 3. It is self-limiting and I do not see how the pin could walk out far enough to damage the bushing area ...

I received my new Mark III 22/45 4 1/2" this week and have put 500 rounds through it (great shooter, ate a lot of junk ammo with NO stoppages). The only thing that bothers me is the hammer pivot pin walks to the left approximately 1/16" (leaving the flat headed side out with the 1/16" gap between th...

Custom Rear Sight for Mark III

I have owned my Mark III Hunter with 6 7/8" barrel for one year. I love it except for the rear notched sight. I just ordered a Mark III 22/45 model with 4 1/2" barrel for cheaper training in regard to my larger caliber polymers. I really like the AA .22 conversion on the G26 (shown in the photo) but...

Thanks for the info, Bullseye. I guess that I take it to extremes, but I even place a spent cartridge into the chamber for storage so that I may decock without ever dry-firing on an empty chamber. I really like my Mark III Hunter and am planning to buy a blued Mark III with 4" barrel for cheap train...

Dry Firing Mark III

I have a Mark III Hunter (and by the way I love the pistol). My question pertains to dry-firing. I am not an advocate of dry-firing for trigger/target practice with any of my hand-guns. The only time I dry-fire is after field stripping because I do not like to store the pistol in the fully cocked ha...
