Safty for a Ruger Mark II
Does anyone have, bought, or made an extended safty for a Ruger Mark II? With my arthritic thumb I find the small, round button very difficult to operate. Thanks.

Welcome to Guntalk-online!
No one currently makes an extended safety lever for the Mark III pistol. However there have been a few modifications to the safety buttons to make them longer and wider. Performing this modification requires some machining skills. Do you have access to some machine tools? I have a picture of one that may fit your requirements.
I realize that the extension is on the bolt stop lever but the same type of modification can be applied to the safety lever. All that you would need is to cut a slot in the button. Then fashion a lever out of flat stock. Next place the lever into the button and drill a hole for a roll pin to keep it secure.
Hope this helps.

This is a socket head cap screw. Not necessarily the size you need but now you know what they look like.
get one that has the same diameter head as your safety.

Living in Michigan all my life just slightly south of where you thumb meets the palm of your right hand, I know what snow is like, although we have not had those big storms her since the eerily 80's. But the cold and wind can be bitter, sure is nice to belong to an indoor range as the weather is always nice in there.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Computer question for Bullseye
Hi Bullseye, I am quite impressed with your picture above. I frequently sell items on Ebay, and so would like to know what software you use to print text and arrows on your pictures. Thanks. --George Thomas

MS Paint is mostly what I use too. I just draw on the original picture and then do a "save as" jpeg. When you want to draw arrows and add text and you don't want a blank box around the text, go to "Image" on the main drop down menu and select ( or uncheck) the "Draw Opaque" item. Then when you add text the background is invisible which will allow your picture to be clearly seen. When I want to get fancy I use Photoshop. But that program usually takes a longer time to load, so if I want to do something fast I just use MS Paint.

You might also want to try paint.net. It's free and very user friendly.
