Re: Loading The Ruger Mk II Mag

I read something about it in a gun mag - maybe even the NRA mag, not sure which. Seems to work well.

I would love to shoot it, but I'm not going to shoot any gun that I can't disassemble and clean.
I've found that holding my tongue against the inside of my left cheek, standing on my right foot, while attempting to whistle with my ears, is a valid technique.

Aside from that, there's usually a decibel level around me when reassembling the Mk II that would not be out of place on an airfield, until I remember the proper sequence of reassembly.
There is actually and aftermarket part now that replaces a bit. Instead of all the weirdness, you unscrew one screw like a Browning Buckmark does. If I were shooting Rugers again, I'd get that part BEFORE I even acquired the pistol.

Re: Loading The Ruger Mk II Mag

I always just pushed the knob against the table or whatever was nearby. It was never a big deal for myself or my Wife when she "appropriated" my target pistol.

Never let your wives or daughters shoot your favorite guns. You may never see them again. :cryin :nopity

A method the wife and I used for our Rugers was just notching the button against the side of a table or even the carrying box we brought the shells in. That always worked just fine.
