I tried to submit a comprehensive review on why you shouldn't order this upper if you ever plan on receiving it. It was denied. Instead, I will simply say I have had many good transactions with OP and spent thousands and thousand with them. I often recommend OP to friends. However, steer clear of ording this upper it wont be a favorable transaction.

On the package it says "not recommended for the mark III 22/45. But, after reading up on the subject I was confident they would fit. They do! There are 2 minor problems with them. Neither of them bother me personally but worth mentioning for other mark 3 22/45 owners.
1st, on my speed loader I can't get the 10th round to load without adjusting it. While the mags made for the Mark III load all 10 every time. I'm not sure why, but it is the case. Again, not a big issue and the speed loader is adjustable. The other minor issue which prevents the Mark 3 22/45 mags from fitting in the IV. On the rear of the mag baseplate. These are shorter so there is a small gap on the grip. Cosmetic issue only, the gun fires fine. Hope it helps. It saves a few $ from purchasing 2 of the mark 3 mags.

I purchased 2 of them and they fit fine on 2 different brands of rifles. Worth a few dollars to me to have a bigger latch handle. I prefer to have low mounted scopes and this make reaching the handle very easy. Happy I added them to a larger order.

It has been a few months since I purchased it and I have to say I like it. There are some problems with it though. I live in Texas so I haven't been in the field with it much because of the heat. But, I have been out a few times and loaned it out to some friends that hunt year round regardless of the heat. The main problem we have observed is that it's near useless in a hot environment but I guess this is possibly true for all thermals, although I don't know that factually. When it's excessively hot everything is heated up so much by the sun that there is no contrast between a hog and a rock. In other words, Everything is hot so nothing stands out. However, after the sun has been down for a few hours Hogs, deer, cows, etc stand out and with a quick scan you will know something is there. I also do not like that it starts up at 1.5x, there is no focus, and it's not really a binocular in my eyes. Personally, I find the best resolution is at 1x. I get annoyed it doesn't start right back up at whatever zoom you turned it off in. A small issue for sure but worth mentioning. As far as the no focus goes, It seems to or perfectly focused at 1x to me but when you zoom in its a digital zoom with poor resolution so it would be nice to try to re-focus the image to make it as best as possible (unless that is already as good as it's gonna get). Now for it not really being a binocular. It is being sold calling it a monocular but it is more of a small display that you have to look
