Ruger MK 1

whydave

Hi ,
I have heard a lot of talk about how bad this or that .22lr pistol is and just want to know if any one has or has used a Ruger MK 1 ?
I know it's on the so called aproved hand gun list but just want to know if it's any good .
Thanks in advance

David

added because of the advice below ......... any idea on price ?

As for reliability they are exellent little guns,for accruacy well,thats debatable in an Olympic context.:rolleyes:.They are plinkers and bunny killers.
For add on bits,fantastic.
All in all if you want a solid .22 pistol you cant go wong with one.

No Ruger .22 pistol will disappoint tbh. Accuracy, reliability, all top notch. Just make sure you use HV ammo or they may not cycle... the odd time

i had a ruger m3 and it was a good pistol , the only fault with mine was it was a bit nose heavy and difficult to reassemble after cleaning.
apart from that it was excellent , a word of advice , check with the local firearms officer that the super will give you a licence for that exact model , my super/chief super have said openly that the "list" means nothing to them at all and they consult the garda ballistics dept.

Any good RFD should order one for you, no idea on price I'm afraid, that would be dependent on the model and whoever's ordering it in for you.

thanks to one and all for the advice , now it's time to talk to the fuzz !

I had the Mk II - lovely piece - but like it's been said before, it can be a bit fussy about what you put into it. Nicely balanced. And missed :-(

Good luck with your purchase.
