Update: I just called Davidson's and they are going to ship me a new gun........so this one is no longer for sale..........thanks


I just picked up a couple more Ruger 22/45s. I have 4 and they are all the models with the "shark gills".......One of the new ones is a Muddy Girl Camo and I just don't care for it. Looked great on the website but I don't like the patterning on this one.....but that's just ME....others may disagree.

Anyway, I am selling it right away because I don't care for the Muddy Girl pattern plus it has the tightest mainspring pinI have EVER seen. I fieldstrip my other 22/45s in nothing flat but it took me forever to get the mainspring pin out at which time I decided to forget the field strip and I put it back together, again with MUCH effort to get that pin to seat. Perhaps the barrel needed adjustment but I didn't want to mess with removing the barrel from the frame. Perhaps someone who is stronger or more experienced with Ruger 22/45s won't have an issue, I don't know. But be forewarned: this one is a tight tight gun.....you may need to work on it a little to smooth those parts out for a nice snug fit (but not too tight like they are now). I wouldn't even mind doing that but as I said, I'm not fond of the Muddy Girl Camo so I'll just sell outright.

So.........this is a brand new gun and the only handling of it was taking the takedown pin in an out.

Purchased from Davidson's (it's a Davidson's exclusive I believe) and had it shipped to Front Sight in McKinney (they were the least expensive out of all the dealer's close to me). I paid $450.43 and picked it up today (7/31)
.
Comes with 2 magazines, lock, manual, black zipper pouch, etc.

FACE TO FACE sale to buyer with a TXCHL: $350

Thanks for looking.

How's the mechanical operation? Bolt, magazine insertion / release, trigger, safety button...all smooth?

Yes they are..........of course I put a new bushing in mine which makes the magazine insertion/release much better but that's a different topic

I should probably just smooth the mainspring pin up a bit and go ahead and keep this gun. I really wanted one this style that had a black barrel (my other three are the red and blue anodized models). I actually wish I could just find a black lower for it........hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Well, will see if anyone wants to purchase and if not next week I'll just work on this one and then go shoot the heck out of it.
