A Note on MKIII Accuracy
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2008 8:02 pm
If anyone questions the accuracy of a MKII/MKIII, I offer the following:
I was talking the the shooter in the next lane today. The conversation drifted to my Rugers. He said he had a couple of MKII slabsides but didn't know much about the MKIII's. He noticed that my (VQ) trigger was different. I gave him the MKIII Hunter and a mag to try. At 15 yards shooting at a 2" orange sticky target the rounds went like this:
Round one: 12 O'clock edge of the orange.
Round 2: 3 o'clock 3/4" from center.
Rounds 4,6-10: Didn't see a strike.
Round 5, quarter inch below center.
This was the first time he had shot a pistol with Hi-Viz sights. When we checked the target, the reason we didn't see 7 rounds is because they were in the black center.
At 15 yards, the only thing affecting the accuracy of my MKIII seems to be it's regular shooter.
