Volquartsen trigger
This is a very good trigger and not hard to change out. Havent shotwith it yet but trigger pule feels smooth and lighter than stock. Feel this will help my granddaughter shoot better.
Two out of three, not bad.
I have used this kit for two Mark III pistols and had no problems installing them. Both went from over 5 pound trigger pulls to right at 2 and 1/4 pounds, which makes them legal for NRA and CMP competitions. My third install was on a Mark III .22/45 Lite and it gave me nothing but fits. I think the main problem is that the Mark III's had a steel frame while the .22/45 is polymer, but I also had a few problems with the parts kit. The hammer bushing that they include did not want to fit in the hole in the hammer. The two before dropped right in, this one required a little persuasion with a rubber hammer. Not a big deal, but one that surprised me. After the install, I could not get the hammer to drop consistently. It felt like it was hanging up or not re-setting properly. The problem was that the pre-travel screw had been set at the factory in too far. After backing it off a full turn the pistol fired every time. It also appeared that the trigger transfer bar was hanging up on the sear and not letting the trigger re-set. I used some emory paper on it, just to polish it a little and it seems to help. The trigger on the .22/45 breaks right at 2 pounds, so it is not legal for competition since it will not pick up the 2 pound weight and hold it, but since this one will not be used in competitions, it is not a problem.
Not bad
I purchased this assembly for a Ruger MKII standard, in order to lighten the trigger pull. Installation was pretty easy, but I had to give it 4 stars, because some material had to be removed from the bolt stop side of the trigger, in order for everything to move freely, it amounted to about .004 of material removed, and had to be done so the trigger would return after being pulled. The problem is actually the right side of the trigger where the trigger disconnector pin installs into the trigger, there is a recess where a ridge of the disconnect slides into it, however, the ridge on the older MKII's is a little wider, and wont fit, therefore, material must be removed from the opposite side. It did lighten the trigger pull some, and the over travel was drastically improved.
Huge improvement
This kit offers a huge improvement over the factory trigger group. The sear, sear spring, and trigger components go in remarkably easy. It's the hammer parts that throw a person off, mainly because there isn't an actual diagram that shows how the magazine disconnect spring actually fits into place. To make it simple, the spring goes behind the magazine well. My trigger is a nice crisp 3 pounds. I will say this. After doing it once, I can do it again in a heart beat. It is a worthwhile kit to add to a Ruger.
