This is the Hunter model. The retailer already put it through the recall. Its such a beautiful pistol. Can't put it down after getting it home today. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow afternoon. It came with 3 magazines, 1 extra for free due to the recall.

Nice. Mine is not a Hunter, but I have gotten word that a box and return authorization should be enroute to me any time now. I love my MKIV.

Damn straight

It looks clean. Did Ruger stop engraving half of the owners manual on the side of the guns?

Nice. The grip angle looks too steep for me though.

I own two 22/45s and love them.

Red dots are very popular.

Regular scopes are very slow on handguns.

The gun is extremely accurate as expected. Can probably put all 10 shots through the same hole from 50 yards away or something, if the shooter is good enough. The rear sights do need to be adjusted though, I'll remember to bring a screwdriver next time I head to the range

After more than a few times looking for SOMEthing to help with adjustments, I added a small pouch similar to this one to my bag:

I have little 6-piece screwdriver sets in various locations in the house; but the one in my range bag comes in mighty handy

I've got a MKIII Hunter, I put a Burris Fastfire III on it. Hard to beat that combination.

I've put about a couple of thousand rounds of federal target ammo though the gun since I got it. The screw holding the barrel and the frame together would slowly work its way loose from the recoil of the gun. A good cleaning and a drop of blue loctite made the issue go away. The gun is an absolute blast to shoot. I thought the sw22 victory was fun, but now that I've got this thing, it's hard to go back.

This is what I have on my Victory.
I got it from Primary Arms though, for less than this, I think.
