Ruger MKIII 22/45 models

[MuncieKat]

So, I've got my eye on getting either a Ruger P512MKIII or a P512MKIIIRP.

The later is with the "replaceable panels".

Are the replaceable panels worth it? I haven't been able to handle one yet. They certainly do look nicer.

Thanks....

It's absolutely worth every penny more for the replaceable panels...if you think it is.

There's no well in the world that removable panels are worth an extra $50.00...if you don't think it is.

Mine is the non-removeble version, I don't think about it except when someone asks about it. But I also have rubber grips on my 1911, I like the look and feel better than the stock wood grips.

I've got the RP and just think it's cool.

I have a 22/45 from before the replaceable panel models were available .
The grip is so thin I found a guy that made "replaceable panels" for it.
If I were you I would handle them both and buy the one that felt better in my hand.

Definatly worth the extra money if I would get another I would definatly get one with the replaceable panels

I bought my boy one without the rp but there is a guy in valaperaso that that makes grips you can screw on. i like his grips but not the mag bases.

Sorry this thread is a couple days old, but I ground off and Bondoed over my grip and installed 1911 grip bushings so I could have replaceable ones.

Then a few months later they came out with one from the factory.

I have one with replaceable panels. It only cost me an extra $30. Well worth it in my opinion. They are slightly larger that the one without. It feels about the same width as my SR9c.

I like the idea of having the option for Hogue target grips later should I decide to do so.

I have a MKIII 22/45 RP. I put Houge Grips and it made the MKIII a whole new gun. Fits my hand just right. Around Indy RP models are going for ~$279.00

 

[paperboy]

Definitely get the RP!!!!

I have the same grip on both my 45 and 22/45 it just feels so good.

This is the one I am looking at right now.....Ohhhhh it will soon me MINE....Going to get it with the fixed sights...change them out to fiber optics.....The cool part about the fixed site model is it still comes drilled and tapped so later if I want to add a scope I CAN!!!!

I have the old style before they offered the replaceable panel models. If I didn't already have one I would go with the replaceable panels. But then again I just ordered a new threaded barrel for mine so I could put a silencer on it. Go figure...

Standard 22/45 frame feels too skinny to ME. Grip models feel fine to ME!

BUT.....you be the judge.
