22/45 with the adj sights and replaceable grips. Much nicer frame than the plain one. That gun will be destined to be an heirloom that your grandkids will learn to shoot with. Get the GSG to play with later.

The above is my advice as well. I have both, I love both, but if it was down to only one, the Mark III (or in my case, a MK II) would win, every time.

Not ever in the same class. The Ruger is FAR superior then the GSG in every way.

I have many Rugers and the GSG-1911. I like the GSG a lot, but the Rugers would win out easily if I had to choose.

Ditto.... my GSG is a hoot to shoot, but for longevity, my Rugers will be there foreverrrrrrrrrrr.... At least until the Democrats take them away (or try to). But if you can afford it, get both. A man can never have too many guns. |

Of the two I'd choose the Ruger. Then I'd delete the mag safety to have a lawyer free gun that is easy to disassemble as opposed to the factory configuration that requires you to insert and remove the mag eleventy billion times to strip it.
I have a 5.5 and a 4 inch bull barrel with adjustable sights. I swapped uppers and now have the 4" barrel on top of the frame with replaceable grip panels, a rail, and a C-More sight on it for my steel challenge gun. The 5.5 may have had a slight edge in accuracy but it was VERY slight and the added weight with the heavy sight made it extremely slow to transition from target to target and then inertia would take over and it was even harder to stop. What I've created now out of these two is "my" perfect competition pistol while I build the other frame with tacsol/volquartsen parts. |

I've always liked Ruger .22 pistols.... but the triggers are shameful, even with replacement parts.... but I do believe they will out-last a GSG...
That said, since getting the GSG's, the Ruger's haven't been out of the safe since... |

I was looking hard at the GSG 1911...when I finally got one in my hands, it felt cheap...I was very disappointed...I decided I'd get the latest 22/45 with threaded barrel and picatinny rails. I figured the Ruger would cost me less since I'd have to buy an adapter to use my suppressor with the GSG 1911. I'm glad I went with the 22/45...spare mags are too expensive for the GSG.

I'm pondering the same thing. I'll probably get the Ruger P512MKIIIRP, a 22 45, blue, replaceable grip panels, 5.5" bull barrel.

Ruger metal is indeed good and does indeed come from somewhere that has been around for decades... And he's also right about zinc. Why do you have something against ZINC? Zinc is good for cellular metabolism and immune system support! I personally thing its a very under rated mineral and should be supplemented along with a good daily Multi-Vitamin. OP, get the Ruger first, if for no other reason than the fact that its an American company that more importantly, I own stock in... LOL |
