I saw that today myself!
Nice and light with Ruger dependability! Doubt I can buy it here though...I'll have to wait and see!

Ugly...Sorry. Hope it runs like a top, but the visuals....just don't do it.. The Buckmark, even an old Colt Woodsman are still sexier...

No argument here! Sure with I still had my old High Standard!

Just heard about it today and hadn't got around to looking it up. I am in the market for a 22 pistol and this might fit the bill, it may be ugly but I'll bet it runs like a top unlike some pretty guns.
Wonder what the street price will be?

I would love to get one. Saves me the trouble of a second transfer via Tactical Solutions, but a gold upper? What is Ruger thinking? Steal some of Taurus' pimp market? Gimme black, OD green, or MB's Vampire Red and it is on the shopping list but gold? Guess I can wait....

Since it's gold anodize it is probably just the "Display" / introductory gun. Anodize can be put on in pretty much any color so I would expect the ones that actually go to dealers to be in colors that are less likely to remind you of a New Orleans pimp.

Looks pretty cool but I am still trying to find more magazines for my Mark III. Mine is newer and starting to rust. :'(

Saw a Ruger Mark III today that the dealer had and said it was an allocated model. I think it had a 5.5 inch bull barrel with the same style flash hider as the Mini 14 GB or the SR556. I believe it had sights, but the only one I found on the net had a rail and no sights.
Kind of like this one, but the one I saw I think had sights. Looked at TALO and Ruger web sights and couldn't find it.

Edited to include:
Found it. It is a TALO edition. Davidson's shows it.

I fingered this at the NRA meetings, yesterday. It feels just like my 22/45 w/ TS upper on it, same weight, feel & balance. But OMG, is it ugly. That gold color is hideous, and the thread protector in black on the end looks out of place. If it comes in other colors, I can see it cutting into TS profits, though.

The second-most cherished gun in my collection... an old M-101 High Standard. This was my very first gun. It was Christmas morning and all of the other presents had been opened. Mom was finishing Christmas dinner in the kitchen and I was helping Dad pickup the paper and boxes. When we were finished with the trash, he said he wanted me to help him with something in the garage - I thougt it was going to be more trash - but it wasn't. It was the most beautiful thing my 12-year-old eyes had ever seen (the magazines hidden under the mattress didn't count; you know, only a 12-year-old thinks they're hidden when under the mattress). I got the safety lecture, the loading instructions, and the standard "if anything happens your Mother will kill me" speech. I don't remember any of the other presents from that Christmas... but I remember the day my Dad said, "I want you to have this because I think you're ready for it."
My most cherished gun is Dad's .38-caliber Charter Arms snubby. He carried it every day he was alive. I keep it clean and oiled and I only shoot it one time a year. Every Father's Day my Dad and I go shooting... and I can still hear him say, "Now son, this is what you need to do..."

Good story!
My ain't so quaint...my old HS was bought used for about 50 bucks back in '82 when I shot bullseye for the league where I worked. It shot clean but when we really needed a good score for the team I used a buddies match gun with a thru the scope red dot. I sold it years ago for twice what I paid for it along with my Beretta 92 in a package deal. Should have kept it but I was making 7 bucks an hour with a baby on the way in '85!
I've priced them new and 800 bucks is too steep for me and I can't buy them here. If I could find a decent used gun I'd probably jump on it!
