Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The 2013 Ruger MK III in .22 LR with a 5-inch barrel and black finish represents one of the final evolutions of Ruger’s long-running, highly respected rimfire pistol line before the introduction of the MK IV, blending classic target-pistol ergonomics with modern safety features and excellent out-of-the-box accuracy. Built on a robust steel upper receiver and paired with a polymer or steel grip frame depending on the configuration, the MK III retains the iconic Luger-inspired profile that has defined Ruger rimfires since 1949, while its 5-inch tapered or bull barrel (model dependent) provides a balanced, muzzle-steady platform ideal for target shooting, plinking, and small-game work. The black finish gives the pistol a clean, utilitarian look while offering good resistance to wear, and the sharply cut sights—typically a fixed front post paired with an adjustable rear—allow shooters to fine-tune point of impact for a variety of .22 LR loads. Internally, the MK III uses a simple blowback system with Ruger’s famously durable bolt design, producing excellent reliability with both bulk ammunition and match-grade rimfire rounds. The pistol incorporates the MK III-specific features such as the loaded chamber indicator, internal lock, and magazine disconnect safety—additions that some shooters appreciate and others find unnecessary, but all of which contribute to the model’s compliance-focused engineering for its era.

The trigger is generally crisp with minimal overtravel, and while enthusiasts often tune or polish it further, the factory pull supports accurate, deliberate shooting. The grip angle provides a natural point of aim, and the frame’s contours, checkering, and thumb rest (when present) make the pistol comfortable for extended range sessions. Field-stripping, though more involved than later MK IV models, remains manageable with practice and contributes to the MK III’s reputation for being nearly indestructible once properly maintained. Overall, the 2013 Ruger MK III 5-inch .22 LR stands as a refined, reliable, semi-modern classic—an accurate, rugged, and endlessly enjoyable rimfire handgun that continues to earn respect from target shooters and collectors alike.
