Will the Ruger 22/45 Mark111 mags fit any other models? Now that I have 7 22/45 mags and really love this little gun I'd like to know if these mags will fit any of the other Ruger Mark's.

Yes, the magazine bodies will work with other models, especially the Mark III ones. The difference is the magazine's plastic bottom block between the 22/45's and the metal frames. If you intend to use these in a metal framed pistol then the blocks have to be changed for the shorter and flatter ones. The good news is you can use any Model version's bottom block (mark II or III) for this option. In the event of exchanging your mark III 22/45 magazines with its earlier Mark II 22/45 version, it will substitute without need of any changes.

If you wish to use these magazines in any earlier metal framed versions you may have to open up the bottom of the grip to allow for the magazine body locking bumps to slide into the frame. It is a slight modification but you'd have to make it to each individual pistol that you wish to use these mag bodies in.
