Ruger Mark IV...

[jbrentd]

Anyone else see this? Are you interested? I wonder how many people have never taken their's apart for fear of not being about to get it back together. Also, what might it do to the prices of the Mark III's?

That's quite the improvement.
I've bee taking them apart for so long it's no longer a chore, but I know a lot of people get real frustrated trying to reassemble them.

Me too, just a few minutes ago at CB Guns in Owasso.

Interesting, once the design is out for a while and proven it might be worth it. And while my 22/45 Mark III is a bit of a pain once you do it a few times it's not really that bad.

That would be way easier. I sure hope they didnt loose any accuracy in doing that.

That is an interesting update and a bit of a price hike. Is that on par with prices now or quite a bit higher?

I'm glad Ruger is trying to improve the product, but I hope it really is an improvement and doesn't hurt the great design in some way. I've never understood the issue with taking the older ones down, and I actually think it's fun (including a full detail strip--just don't lose those little springs!).

Probably right around the same, looked online at a place I like to go through and the same ones in the photo's were about 60.00 less for the Mark III version which is pretty standard vs brick and mortar stores.

I agree, making a change to make something easier at the cost of accuracy/reliability is never a good thing.
