I had been lusting after one of these for quite a while, so I decided to use up my last permit on one.  Ruger Mark III Hunter.  Found a great deal on it at one of the local shops and went for it.

That is sweet! I like the barrel.

agreed barrel looks awesomesauce.

Awesome gun... I have one of the Hunters with a 5.5" barrel. I replaced the rear "V" sight with a square sight and put Hogue grips on it and am quite happy with it.

I would have preferred thinner grip panels without the wrap-around finger grooves, but I like these. And, I like them better than the similar ones with the thumb rest. And, if someone is left-handed and they are shooting it, then they will have no problems.

Thanks guys! Stripped it down and gave it a good cleaning and lubing tonight and can't wait to get it to the range for some fun! Stripping it down and putting it back together isn't as bad as many people say the Ruger Mark I/II/III is. After doing it a couple of times I now can easily take it apart and put it back together again without a problem.

It looks worse than it really is...

Thanks! I took it out today to put it through its paces at the EF&G rimfire range and had a blast with it. Let me tell you that this gun is AMAZING to shoot! I am still shocked with how accurate I was with it, with just the stock sights... I can't wait to put a red dot on it... I was hitting 2" steel plates from 45 ft with total ease, over and over... I don't think I've ever shot more accurately before with a pistol, than I did today with my Mark III! Definitely get one, you won't regret it.
