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...

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.
