Hello From Central Texas

Hi Everyone,

My father-in-law recently turned me on to a Mark III Target for, um, target shooting and I liked it so much I just purchased a P95 to go with it.

While shopping and learning, I found a few Ruger Forums but I liked the presentation, info. and tone of this one the best--so here I am!

I just completed the first disassembly / reassembly on the Mark III and it would've taken me much longer without the help here on the internets--Thanks!

Hey, thanks to all for the warm welcome

@Cloud
I'd been using an old, cheap (and cheaply made) .22 revolver for a long time and switching to the Mark III is amazing. I like it *a lot*

@LAGun
I'm here in the bustling metropolis of Manor, roughly 20mi NE of Austin.
I saw your Marlins listed and that really took me back! I used to have a 39A that got "lost" in a family squabble. Alas.

@KKBMTGG
"metromess" That's a good one

Yeah I'm a member of a Marlin forum it seems Rugers and Marlins seem to keep good company...Actually I picked up my second P90 from a guy in Hutto...
