The trigger weight is dramatically decreased. It is buttery smooth as well. The accurizing kit truly makes the pistol what I wanted it to be from the beginning. I was kind of on the fence but am really glad I bought this. It's not a difficult install and the only tools I used were some needle nose pliers and a couple of punches. Kit came with the two hex wrenches that are needed. If you have a Ruger MK pistol do yourself a favor and buy the accurizing kit, you won't be disappointed. Edit: It also eliminates that ridiculous magazine disconnect garbage.

Agreed. I held off on the VQ for a while because I like flat triggers (and I don't care for TK's version) so I went with the Apex trigger on my first MKIV but when I saw the VQ is now available with the Creekside Custom trigger blade, I picked one up for my other MKIV and yes it is sweet. The Apex isn't bad at all but the VQ is at least 1lb lighter (2.25lbs vs 3.25-.5lbs) and maybe just a tad crisper.

| When I purchased my MKIV a few years ago I thought the gun shot just ok. It always felt like something was missing. Installed a Volquartsen trigger and it made a world of difference. It’s how the gun should have been from the start. Installation was a PIA though. It wasn’t hard, but it felt like you needed 3 hands. Pins kept falling out and preventing you from installing the next part. Then I finally figured out that using blue painters tape on one side to prevent the pins falling out while to install the next part. Pro tip, use painters tape as a third hand. And a vice if you have one to hold the lower in place. |

I sent my 22/45 frame to Volquartsen since the upper is considered to be the firearm. It's nice. Shipped UPS as frame with wood grips. Attached File It needed an extended mag release to work with the factory grips so they did that too. The gun was pretty bad in stock form. Attached File Those grips are made by Altamont for Ruger. They are on deep discount at Ruger's shop now. I'm sure it's because you can't hit the mag release without totally shifting your grip. I like them because I have huge hands and use Pro grip. I can't have a threaded barrel since I live in CT and mostly shoot in Massachusetts. VQ returned it to me quickly. |
