Improve my bullseye score, however...

I have been shooting Rugers for over 30 years, but because of the factory grips that never agreed with my hand, I never used them for competition. I put the volthane grips, along with the Volquartsen accurzing trigger kit, on a Mark III, and I have now found my new competition gun. Love them. However, as someone else mentioned you will have to pull the hammer pin to install the extended slide release. There are plenty of youtube videos out there to show you how to remove and replace all these parts if you don't know how, so not too big of an issue. My big complaints the mounting screws are too long and counter sunk into the rubber grips too deap. There is very little rubber left to tighten the screws, and they will/do interfere with the clip.(requires modifying) The worst thing: The sear pin sits in a void cut in the grip. If this pin wiggles out the thickness of the frame, the sear will shift and make the gun a paper weight until corrected (requires modifying or take your chances). Nothing I would care to do at the range. The factory frames actually have a raised area to prevent this pin from moving. I personally like the grips enough to make the modifications, but a bit surprised/disappointed coming from Volquartsen.
