GregH, Congratulations. Let us know what you think of the new pistol. A range report would be nice. Do you have, or have you shot a Mark II? Any points of comparison would be great. Lots of us are waiting to see how the new model stacks up against the Mark II. I have two MK II pistols. No Mark III's; yet. Good to hear from someone in Oakland, TN. My folks live just east of you, before you get to Somerville. I'm sure that you've seen their farm.

Thanks Ferdinand! I think, I know what farm you are referring to. Is it Wo***urn?Ferdinand said:
Here is a little Ranger Report... We shot indoors.
Hi guys! An Ultimate Clip Loader, I must get!! Ouch!! My wife and I went out yesterday, and shot around 300+ rounds through the new gun (indoors). No jams at all! All we used was the 550 brick of Federal from Wal-Mart.
Did I shoot any better with this 678 then I did with the 512? Maybe a little. Really hard to say. But; I love the feel of this KMKIII678GC! Great balance! and; I love the grips!
My wife shot mostly at 30 ft. I did some. But; kept taking the target down to 50 ft. No 1 inch groups yet! But; I'm working on it!
Oh! And; here's an interesting note. You know on the MKIIIs, there are 3 pre-drilled holes in the barrel for the Weaver rail? And; those holes have 3 screws in them? Well; the furthest one back on my gun, I noticed was not screwed down much, and was protruding up some above the barrel surface. So; I took a screwdriver, and screwed it down. This was yesterday morning before we went out to the range. Anyway; I pulled the bolt back (just getting a feel for it), and after tightening that back screw, the bolt would not release. I thought; what the heck??!! Then; it occured to me; that screw, I tightened down must be now contacting, and hold down a spring inside! Sure enough! The screw holes go all the way through the barrel wall! I had no idea. I backed off that screw, and all was well.
