Ruger 22/45

[Iansstud]

Im looking into a new 22/45 depending on how my taxes come out... I have a few questions:

Are there any aftermarket mags with more than 10 rounds?

Where is the cheapest place buy mags?

How hard is it to remove the upper/barrel from the lower?



Im not sure if I'm going to get a 22/45 and a integral suppressor/barrel/upper so I can switch when I want to.
OR if Im going to buy the pistol/suppressor in one shot from one place... and then I would have to wait 3-4mo for the form 4 to clear....

-nope; no aftermarket mags at all, actually
-Ruger
-not very. It is a very tight fit to begin with and takes a couple good whacks, but is not as hard the second time.
Remember that the upper is the S/N part.

I haven't seen any mags with more than ten rounds. It's plinker just buy more mags.
Midway is having a sale, mags for $16.99, hurry.
Easy to remove the barrel on my MkII, I assume it is the same on the 22/45.

can you buy just the lower grip???

Not thinking so, Ruger requires you to send the whole pistol to them for a replacement.

Lower grips are nearly impossible to come by, because Ruger won't sell just the grip, and everybody wants one to put their paclite uppers on. I still can't believe there is no aftermarket part, but maybe Ruger won't let that happen. Consequently, uppers are cheap.

I would suggest rimfirecentral forum to answer q's about modding, adding suppressors, or the best deals on uppers.

I already know the suppressor I want. I just wanted to clear a few things up... Thanks
You would think ruger would capitalize on this and make lowers...

I heard somewhere you could buy all the magazine parts from ruger for cheaper then you could buy the magazines for... I have yet to find out for myself...
