Ruger MKIII 22/45 with Holosun range report

Got some range time with my old MKIII 22/45 and its new Holosun RDS. I'm really liking this setup, much more so than the prior TRS-25.

Started off with some Federal AutoMatch that did OK, roughly 3/4" inch groups at 25 yards (rested of course). Then I tried some Norma TAC-22 that I picked up a brick or two of a while back. shot the group below. Adjusted and shot another similar group. That'll work and I've got plenty of the ammo. Would RWS or similar have shot better? Perhaps but for this gun's plinking purpose I like how the cheap ammo is performing.

Moving from rested to plinking is where the new optic really shined. Picking up the dot and overall return to sight picture is much better than the prior tube setup. I'm very happy with it and will most likely add the same optic to one more of my MK pistols.

Great write up! I am actually in the exact same situation: I had a TRS-25 on my 22/45 MKIII for years and recently took it off, I am looking to replace it with a Holosun or similar price point RDS.

Ok now I’m over here!
Nice report on the Holosun and Ruger
I’m so glad you liked that sight and can’t argue with the results.
I’m delayed (family emergency likely indefinitely) in getting my Ruger MKII drilled, tapped, railed, and a new Holosun 407C installed.
