Here’s a look at the history of the Mark III and how it fits into the larger Ruger pistol lineage: ?? Origins: Ruger Standard Pistol (1949) The story begins in 1949, when Bill Ruger introduced the Ruger Standard, a .22 Long Rifle semi-automatic pistol. It had a design inspired by the Nambu and Luger pistols, using a tubular receiver and simple blowback action. The Standard became hugely successful and was the foundation for the entire Mark series. ?? Mark I, II, and the Path to the Mark III Mark I (1950): A refined version of the original, with target models added. Mark II (1982): Added a bolt hold-open feature on the last shot, easier magazine loading, and an updated magazine release. ?? Ruger Mark III (2004–2016) The Mark III debuted in 2004, bringing several modernizations and safety upgrades: ? Key Features & Changes: Magazine release moved from the heel to the traditional thumb location (American style). Loaded chamber indicator on the left side—this was a controversial addition for some users. Internal lock system to disable the firearm with a key. Magazine disconnect safety (prevents firing without a magazine inserted). Drilled and tapped receiver for easy optics mounting. Still retained the blowback design and was available in several barrel configurations. ??
