They're well-built guns, that's for sure.

Shot my Dad's Slabside this weekend... I have my eyes on a S&W Model 41 when my fortunes change.
+1 on that and add a good .22 rifle to that. .22's are what got me into shooting at church camp years ago and I've had the fascination ever since.
Wow, it does look canted. Probably just a perspective thing.
I've got a stainless MkIII Target and it is definitely my favorite pistol. Get one of these to load your mags: McFadden Ultimate Clip Loader 22 Long Rifle Pistol Mag Loader Polymer
After I got the speed loader I had no issue going through an entire 550 pack in one range trip

I bought a 22/45 yesterday at Cheaper Than Dirt. I've several other .22 pistols, but I wanted one of these with a 5.5" barrel. It was $279 plus tax.
I mostly shoot a Buckmark and a Beretta NEOS, but I've been wanting a 22/45 for some time now. I sold my old Ruger bull barrel a few years ago and wanted another, but with the different grip angle.
I got a little bored shooting bullseyes, and started tracing a circle on paper using a coke can. I don't shoot the center, but rather shoot the line all the way around until the center falls out. If I hit the middle of the bullseye I've missed. I also shoot this target with a scoped 10/22 at 50yds. It's fun.

I've never had any trouble loading my magazines too quickly for my own good.
For what it's worth, I was going to mention this earlier, but I forgot until now. Some say that the 22/45 is not a MKIII, that the MKIII has the Luger style grip, but stamped clearly on the barrel of my new 22/45 it says MKIII.
This sucker is a bitch to get apart and together again when it's new. I finally got it apart, knocked the barrel off with a dead blow hammer, put it back together and it didn't work. It wouldn't cock and fire, and the mainspring would not come out more than a 3/8 inch. I was pissed. I dicked with it off and on for a couple of days and mysteriously the spring came away from the grip and I was able to get it apart. Putting it back together I followed the procedure on a website that gave step by step instructions. It's together and working finally.
