Had the Mkll target model with fluted bull barrel. Gave it to my older brother because the smith is much better, and accurate

I'd be willing to bet your M41 has a superior trigger to my MkIII. That is indeed the weak link in the Ruger Mk pistols. Many people have done just a trigger replacement with an aftermarket piece like a Volquartsen and it became a tack driver. I'd still like to do that to mine...someday.

The wife got me a MK2 Ruger HB SS for our anniversary one year. Shot like cr@p for a long time. Constant jams and hangups. Gently stoned/buffed the feedramp and it will run like a champ now. Also removed the triger and did away with the serrations on the face and polished it out. Takedown can be a bear, just have to keep your wits. It is a very accurate pistol if I do my part.

Ahh, another fellow familiar with the Ruger takedown! Mine's a 22/45 and it's been over a year since I last shot it. I need to save and renew my range membership.

I really cannot say I have had feed issues with my 22/45. I don't shoot truncated cone profile loads in it. It basically has seen Federal Champion, CCI minimag, Blazer, and Winchester Super-X. Been a reliable feeder for me.

CCI Blazer does real well for me. Federal Auto Match is good too. Anything by Remington like Golden Bullets, or Thunderbolts are pretty crappy. Inaccurate and dirty.

I've heard nothing but good reports about CCI Blazers, but have yet to find any to try. .22's are still as rare as hen's teeth where I live. Was able to get 1800 mini mags last week when a new Field & Stream store opened in town (several trips) not at a great price but I have them. The last mini-mags I had found where in 2014.

This is my 28 ga. Not as nice a model but a fine gun. I believe it to be the first 30" 28 ga they ever made...or the only one.

Did you use the gun or just take off your shoes to bag that bunch?

I started buying CCI BLAZER when they were $9.99 for 500. That was around 05. When the panic hit during elections and specially after Newtown they went up to $59.99 for 500. I will never pay inflated prices for .22. I can cast bullets and handload cheaper than I can shoot rimfire. The Federal Auto Match I am working through was bought at Wal-Mart quite a while ago.

Now a days there is a lot of ammo coming in from outside the US. most of good some better than others. I will practice with most anything in 9MM but will only carry the best name brand i can find. I try to carry Federal Hollow points. As someone has already stated we are responsible for the bullet from the time it leaves the muzzle until it comes to it's final resting place. When it comes to 22 ammo I have set my scope on the hunting rifle with CCI mini mags. point of aim will very from brand to brand and from bullet weight. When shooting for quarter size targets at 50 yrds and better it does make a difference.
When it comes to self defense from what i read the person attacking has to be almost at arms length before the legal system will recognize the need for deadly force. This will make a deference in what a person will decide to carry or at least it should. This should be talked about in the training sessions. I enjoy target practice and hunting but when it comes to defending myself or wife it's completely different. What you carry what you wear to conceal . I wish these day were like when i was young . we never locked the house or cars. Even when we went to the larger cities like Memphis or Nashville we never locked the car and in the summer we left the windows down. Those days are gone. In the USA in states that allow we need to be ready to defend our selves. When seconds count the Police are just minutes away. They can't be expected to be everywhere at the same time. For those states and countries that don't allow conceal carry maybe they will wake up before it's too late for the people.

Sorry about the soap box.
