Tandemkross is what you seek.Awesome company, great products. One stop shopping. They went above and beyond (including texting photos of the right install method) when I had an issue. Turns out I put my sear in backwards.
 Fantastic upgrades ore over stock. Well worth it. I did trigger, mag release, sling shot, and. loaded chamber indicator.

To be honest though unless your in a super hurry I would wait for the 22/45 mark IV to be released. The Mark IV pistol already removed most of that stuff and the one button takedown is awesome. |

Thanks for the replies. Is the sling shot mod really necessary? I prefer to hit the bolt release to keep continuity with my other handguns.

I prefer Volquartsen parts, but that's just me. LCI filler, hammer, hammer bushing, trigger, spring loaded bolt hold open. I have their sear too but I thought it made the trigger pull mushy.

It is recommended that you don't use the bolt release the same as your normal handgun because it will wear the release out. Even TK says the same with their slingshot replacement bolt realease. They use better steel too. I love the slingshot on mine |

Is there any kind of device that locks the bolt? For suppressed use, it should eliminate action noise. Basically make it into a single shot on occasion if I'm feeling like a secret agent.

The lowest mount is the one that removes the rear sight like the one I have. If you buy a vorquerten upper (scorpion?) the rail built in the barrel you have a better chance but your buying a $1000 gun versus a $300 gun |

The bolt release shouldn't be used on any handgun to release the slide, not just the 22/45. Two reasons one is excessive wear on the slide catch. The seond reason is in a self defense situation fine motor skills go to crap, hitting that little lever is a fine motor skill, grabbing the slide and sling shotting it is a gross motor skill which will still work under stress.

The seond reason is in a self defense situation fine motor skills go to crap, hitting that little lever is a fine motor skill, grabbing the slide and sling shotting it is a gross motor skill which will still work under stress. This is a bit off topic but I'll bite. On handgun designs BESIDES the 22/45, you may have a valid point about slide catch wear, however they are cheap parts and would be part of your PMCS. But your second point many trainers and myself disagree on. Would you say pulling the trigger is a fine motor skill? Or disengaging a safety such as one found on a 1911? It is. You have just engrained that neural pathway through repetitions. Using the slide release is no different than taking a safey off or pulling the trigger. It's a matter of training. I am much faster hitting the slide lock than I am slingshotting the slide. Until recently I was a marksmanship instructor in the Marine Corps. I taught my students to use the slide release on their M9 service pistols because it's faster and with that particular design, the slide mounted safety, it's horribly easy to decock the hammer and put it on safe. I have seen several students that would do a drill, speed reload, slingshot and come back on target to a slack trigger and stupid look on their face. |

I'm thinking of at least doing the Volquartsen sear. I dislike the trigger pull, but the rest of the gun seems fine.
Is there a great benefit to getting the TK upgrade package - Sear, Hammer, Trigger? Or should I just try the sear first. I actually like the feel of the stock trigger, but it is just the pull that is long and feels very sloppy and crunchy. |

On my 22/45, I've made the following mods:
-Removed the LCI and replaced with a TK filler -Removed the magazine safety and replaced the hammer bushing with a TK unit -Added the TK slingshot mod -Added extended bumpers to the magazines so my hand doesn't get pinched during reloads. -Polished various OEM FCG parts using a Dremel and some Flitz. I really like how my trigger feels, and it cost me 20 cents worth of Flitz. As you detail strip the pistol, examine how the FCG parts interact and you'll know what to polish. The mod everyone should do is remove the mag safety. It makes field stripping much easier, makes mags eject better, and improves the trigger feel. |

Measured trigger pull is 1.5lbs and with over travel and pretravel screws adjusted correctly the trigger is pretty good. I did the sling shot mod on my own by taking out the detent. It has made the gun quite incredible. |

You may already know, but you probably shouldn't run Aguila SSS 60 grn through your suppressor. You might get baffle strikes.

I haven't seen any locally and I'm happy with just bulk pack stuff. The barrel length keeps it subsonic. |
