Need Help - Ruger Host???

[thoppe]

Okay, so I finally picked up my SS Sparrow today and simultaneously placed an order for a PacLite upper. I have a Walther P-22 right now (which I like FWIW) BUT want something more accurate and hear great things about the Rugers.

So... now I need help picking a Ruger... I don't plan on purchasing the factory threaded 22/45 one due to the fact that I've chosen to go the PacLite route but still need some help. Should I go mk2 or mk3 or 22/45? Do folks tend to prefer the polymer frames of the 22/45's with the PacLite uppers or the metal frames on the mk2's and 3's? Weight really isn't too much of a concern for me but didn't know if there was a good reason to choose one over the other.

I plan on making the purchase this weekend so any help is greatly appreciated. If the mk2 seems to be the preference, I can buy it on gunbroker so no problem there. Please help me out.

Thanks!

I went with the 22/45+paclite due to weight. If thats not a concern like you said then I would go hold both and see what grip angle you like better.

mk iii or 22/45 is going to be personal preference. You're just going to have to hold them to figure out which you like best. That being said, when I was recently in the same boat I bought a threaded 22/45 and then bought a paclite.

Thanks guys! I went with the standard mk3 with hogue rubber grips, removed the stupid magazine disconnect safety and installed the volquartsen trigger, sear, and Clark mk2 hammer bushing. This thing rocks!!!

Don't forget the slingshot mod!

FYI, great site for Rugers http://www.guntalk-online.com/service.html

I also am going the Pac Lite route for my MKII. But I also bought a thread adapter for my P22. I love options.

Why did you decide on going the PacLite route verses going with a Ruger with factory threaded barrel? Was is because of the weight? I'm also considering picking up a .22 Ruger.

I mounted the paclite and shot it this weekend with my SWR Spectre...great set up.

The factory Ruger threaded barrel runs great and is as accurate as I can shoot it. To each his own, but I sure wouldn't spend the money on a pac-lite with this available.
