Very nice pistol. High quality and reasonable price. Very accurate. A bit hard to clean but worth the effort.

A great target pistol, groups good. Just put a red dot on it. My grandson loves shooting it too.

Ruger 10140 22/45 Target 10+1 .22 LR 5.5", this is a very accurate target gun. It has a great point shooting target acquiring feel. Mine does not like hollow-points but will fire all other ammo consistently. Using the iron sights a shooter can sight it in an be very accurate for bullseye completion. Not the easiest gun to break down to thoroughly clean but very durable and does not require that level of cleaning often.

Great pistol for target practice. Very accurate and easy for my wife to use and handle. Would purchase again.

Just like shooting a .45 A1 with .22 ammo. Looks great, shoots great, never a problem feeding. I shoot this for awhile at the range, and then switch to the Springfield .45 acp A1. FUN at the Range.

This has to be the most maddening, frustrating, infuriating pistol to disassemble and clean I've ever encountered. Sweet shooter though.

Shortest review ever. Nice/nice. What they said.

Bought this as a practice pistol so I didnt have to keep reloading 45acp every couple of days. Bad thing is it super fun to shoot which sucks cause 22 ammo is still hard to find or limited.

I love this gun. I went to pick it up from my FFL and almost immediately took it out and put about 40rds through it. It definitely is different from the other guns I have handled. First example would be the slide, for me I have not handled a gun like this, so cocking it is a little different as for me I rarely cock a weapon in a slingshot like manner. It is something I can learn to do though. I also have not handled a 1911 and these grips obviously resemble a 1911 somewhat. The trigger is amazing, the only other 22 handgun I have fired has been a M&P 22 and while I like that, the trigger for me is very easy, it seems like there is not a lot of pull which I am sure helps with accuracy. I actually found a lizard while I test fired it, as we have plenty of open land here, and I took it with the first shot, so the gun is really accurate. It comes in a plastic case with the Ruger Insignia, Inside is the manual, a case lock, and 2 magazines, of course also with the weaver mount. I am going to have to use a drill on the case, because I can see the notches where the lock would go, but the plastic is pretty thick so it does not seem to be something that can be punched out. I made 2 purchases that both came in at the same time, so I will say this is my 1st/ 2nd purchase and it will not be my last.

This was my first I purchase from Bud's, and I must say that Bud's is a totally professional, quality orginazation. I'm looking forward to my nexy purchase. I'm took the pistol home, did a little de-greasing and went to the range, 200 rounds and only one feed issue, and that was when I was doing rapid fire with std volicity Remmington. I'm not pleased with the sights; black on black doesn't work for me so I guess I'll be upgrading soon. As far as teardown and re -assembly, I had no problems, just watched a video and followed the instructions. It's a little time consuming at first, but not bad.

Most accurate handgun in my hands. After the first few mags, it's been as close to 100% reliability as I'd expect for a .22 handgun. I can think of maybe 2-3 FTF's but they appeared to be duds because they didn't fire in another 22 either. Wickedly accurate, recoil is nothing, but unfortunately, these things are a bitch to clean, and therefore it doesn't get it as often as the rest of my guns. I would definitely purchase another in the future if I need another 22 handgun.

Amazing!!! Bud's gets an a+ Gun was received in 3 days right out of the box it fired 200 cci mini mags no problems went home and watched a vid on how to clean. First time is a little challenge but I got it down after a couple of break downs. Gun had zero rust or blemish marks on it, and to my surprise it came with 2 mags and a rail. For a plinker or snake gun this is hands down the best gun for the buck. The grips can be changed out the sights are adjustable and the gun is just over all great.

Received this gun in three days from the ordering date. Great, fast shipping. I've purchased four firearms from Buds and have had great shipping from them. The gun arrived in great shape as expected. Magazines had a tight lock-up. You kinda' had to 'slam them home' with our palm to get them to lock. Nothing like my friends MKII. I guess it has to do with the polymer frame of the 22/45 (the mags have an odd floorplate), and the magazine disconnect. I disassembled the pistol (whoever says this is hard obviously isn't too smart) in 5 minutes, then cleaned it out and oiled it up (the factory oil is a bit too thick in my opinion. I took it to the range today and shot CCI Mini-Mags, CCI Standard Targed (SV), and Remington Targed (SV), and Federal bulk. I had one FTF and it was due to the ammo - this was out of 190 rounds. The best accuracy was with the Remington Targets with a 1.5" five-shot group @50' using a two-hand unsupported grip. This was nice to see. This is with one click of rear sight adjustment to bring the group to the right. I had a Browning Buckmark and while I really liked that gun, I LOVE this one. To sum it up - the only issue I have with this gun is the stupid magazine safety, as it inhibits lockup of the magazine, makes disassembly/reassembly harder, and causes the magazine not to drop free (you have to pull it out). I have a hammer bushing on order for a MKII to get rid of this 'feature'. For this, I give it 4 stars.

Love this little shooter. Taking it apart and putting it back together can be a pain but it'll get better the more I do it. Great 22

This is my 3rd purchase from Buds and I have to say they are fast! Now for the gun review, this gun is very accurate and easy to fire. Shot a hundred rounds already and not one hicup or malfuntion. Great Ruger quality as always!

This was my 1st purchase from Buds and Im happy with this gun. There was a mix up with the order when I picked a prefered dealer that I already go to near by, and for some reason my order didnt register right and said it was pending. I didnt realize this for about 3 days thinking my ordeer had shipped. I contacted Buds after finding out my order was pending due to the web site malfunction, saying I hadnt picked a FFL dealeer, and had my gun within 3 business days. I still feel the order was speedy even with the mix up. Im glad Buds has great prices that are more in touch with reality. Ive read and heard about Buds customer service not being good, but thats not my experience. Mine was good and as long as thats the case, I will look forward to doing more buisness in future. This gun is hard to find at this time and when I finally seen it back I jumped on the deal.

Very pleased. Great gun and first purchase from Buds. To disassemble/assemble it takes a few choice words and a couple of reviews of a youtube video other than that im so pleased with it i havent touched another .22 pistol and actually just ordered the 22/45 lite from Buds. Thanks Ruger and Buds and look forward to doing more business in the future.

I have run 800 rds through this gun and had only a single FTF and that was a malformed bulk shell. The gun is inherantly accurate but for a target gun has a lousy trigger pull due to the lawyer-inspired utterly-useless Mark III magazine safety. After putting up with the trigger pull for a couple of hundred rounds I went ahead and spent the $74 dollars and replaced the sear, hammer, and hammer bushing with Volquertson Mark II components and discarded the magazine safety. Now the gun shoots beautifully and magazines slide out like they should. It is now enjoyable and satisfying to shoot. The modification also makes reassembly easier because you are not inserting and removing the magazine constantly putting it togather. BTW: If you enjoy chinese puzzles, you will love field stripping and reassemblying this gun. I can only give this gun 3 stars because of the Mark III issues. It is Not a target gun out of the box. Today, given my experience with Ruger's Mark III "Enhancements" I would choose the Browning Buckmark. The actual sale transaction with Bud's was great; easy and smooth and I have become a repeat customer.

This was my second gun purchase from Buds, and will definetly not be my last. It was at my FFL 2 days after my final payment was received, in perfect condition!! Go Buds!! The gun is awesome and all the hype about it's reliability and flawless function can be believed. I have over 500 rounds through this gun, (all CCI-Mini-Mags), and can report only 1 FTF, and this can be attributed to the ammo without a doubt as the offending round displayed a definite heavy primer strike. I needed to make a 1 increment adjustment to the rear sight to zero it in, and it is now a tack driver even in my un-skilled hands. I added a Hi-Viz fiber optic front sight, and a Pearce rubberized finger grip that mounts under the factory grips. This gun is a blast to shoot and will be a regular in the range bag for the next 50 years. It is undeniably heavy. Much heavier than Rugers SR22 or a Walther P-22, but as I was told; "Heavy is good, heavy means reliable, if it does not shoot, you can always throw it at the target." LOL. Also, it comes VERY tight from the factory, and will never be mistaken for a Glock during field-stripping. But DO NOT let that scare you away from this gun. If you follow the instructions and watch any of the videos available on the subject, you will be able to disassemble and reassemble this firearm in no-time flat. I am a gun novice, and took it apart, and reassembled it in under 3 minutes with a litttle practice. If you are in the market for a drama-free dedicated 22, look no further, you have found your gun.

Within 3 days of placing my order, I was at my range testing this weapon. Buds gun shop is safe, reliable and part of the family. The weapon is factory new, and the grips are amazing. If you do not have one now is the time. Great job guys!! -Tiffany

I bought this gun a while back and so I think it is time for a review. The gun I received was built so tight that I have to drive the mainspring out of the bolt with a plastic punch! The removable grips are nice, but I did replace them with some thumbrest style grips (the thumbrest makes it a pain to get to the magazine release). I love to shoot for accuracy, so the factory trigger got replaced with the volquartsen accurizing kit. Along with the mark II hammer bushing to get rid of the magazine dissconect, the trigger is adjustable, very light (around 2.5 pounds), and most importantly legitimately crisp. I also dressed this gun up with a volquartsen compensator to add extra weight to the end of the barrel, and also I added a volquartsen bolt assist extension to make racking the bolt easier. The last thing I did was the slingshot mod, which I love. I dremeled the bolt release peice down and added a bic lighter spring that I cut in half so now the bolt release doesn't get stuck anymore after you take out the detent and spring (google this, it is easy and takes 10 minutes with a dremel grinding wheel). Now, even before all these upgrades this gun shot great. But with them it shoots 2-3 inch groups at 25 yards consistently and one inch holes at 10 yards with just about any ammo. I am planning on adding a nice scope and making this my squirrel getter this fall. Happy shooting.

The 24/7 OSS pistols are my favorite pistols bar none and I am an Old 1911 guy. My first one was in 9mm and broke all three of my handgun "don't" rules=polymer frame,striker fired and 9mm :). That was three years ago and my friends still won't let me live it down.I got a great deal on the 45 from Bud's. I only wish I had bought a bunch of them while I could.Rumor has it that Taurus discontinued them, I hope that is wrong.The de cock to have first shot double action and one in the chamber is a wonderful feature. I carry OSS pistols, I'm 6'4" so it's relative. 24/7 pistols seem to fit everyones hands from small to freakishly big like mine.Get one whenever you can, you won't be sorry.

It is not as difficult to field strip as others would have you believe. My wife and I neither one have owned a gun before and we can both disassemble and reassemble this now and love this gun. Don't field strip it until you have fired couple hundred rounds through it. My problem, and various y o u t u b e videos hint at this, is appreciating the need of getting the hammer strut to fall against the main spring housing as you reassemble it. (RTFM) If the backstrap main spring housing doesn't have tension as you lock it in the grip/mag-well, you won't be able to pull back on the bolt. It fires well, and is a joy to shoot. Safe to dry fire, designed to actually, magazine disconnect spring and loaded chamber indicator are all great features on top of the manual safety and key safety.

There is no better quality than Ruger. I love this gun and the way it looks. Feels good in your hands. Right out of the box, it was extremely accurate. Ordered the gun on Sat. arrived at the FFL (Revere Gun Range) on Wed. morning. Will definitely buy from Bud's again. The entire experience was 5 stars.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? This is a great gun, and has become the standard by which other quality target pistols are judged. This model with the cocobolo grips is especially nice (in my opionion) because it is very easy to change the grips if you want to and use standard .45 1911 grips. I'm happy with the grips that came with. The gun is reliable and a great value for the money.
