Have a growing family of these guns and am wondering which upgrades you guys have found most worthwhile.
Think i am going to have them threaded. Might set up one with a comp and a cmore for competition so I am looking at comps too. Open to any and all suggestions and look forward to hearing what has worked.  Attached File |

Volquartsen MKII Hammer bushing to remove the mag disconnect feature, a Volquartsen Sear and polish the trigger plunger. I've done this to all my MKIII, 22/45 lite and it will drop trigger weight in the sub 2 lb range. I've also installed Majestic Arms speed strip kits to make it easier to clean

Hammer bushing to remove magazine safety is really nice to have. Best mod for me was adding a Burris fastfire iii on top.
I installed the volquartsen trigger and did not like it--i prefer 3.5-4.5 lb triggers and it was not in that window or if it was the very bottom. |

So it was too light for you, am I reading that right? Other than that was the trigger pull itself good? No slop, creep, etc. You may also want to read Old_Painless write up on what he did with his. http://www.theboxotruth.com/fixing-the-problems-on-a-ruger-2245-lite-2/ |

I would try the hammer bushing first if anything. Either Volquartsen or the Tandemkross. I had better luck with the Volquartsen. That in my opinion is the biggest bang for your buck. I also added a tactical solutions fiber optic front sight on all mine. I tried a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot and actually prefer the iron sights better.

I came in from a different direction with mine. I built mine up from parts; only the bolt and mainspring are actual Ruger parts.
The lower is Volqs and the upper is TacSol. The Volqs trigger is easily the best trigger I have ever experienced in any gun; like a glass rod snapping. I put a Vortex Venom on it (Vortex has a nice discount for military) but haven't had a chance to sight it in yet. Hoping the HPA passes sometime soon so the comp can come off for a silencer.

I actually have a extra paclite upper. I was going to send one of my mkII uppers in sans bolt and see if they would put a new lower and bolt in it. |

He gave me a military discount so it was a little less than that, but I don't remember how much. EAB has them for $437 so it was probably about the same in the end. http://www.eabco.net/Volquartsen-2245-Aluminum-Frame_p_14001.html So, about as much as buying a whole nother gun from Ruger.... I reluctantly added a TacSol bolt-racker. I didn't really like it but I got tired of the blood blisters. I would have gone whole-hog and gotten an aftermarket mainspring and bolt, but I don't like any of the aftermarket bolt designs available. |

I built my first 22/45 lite with a tac sol comp and Burris Fast Fire III.
I built my daughters 22/45 lite exactly like this one. The C-more and 90 mount is way better than the fast fire. It is larger and you can still see half the irons at the bottom. The on/off switch of the C-more is way better than the tiny push button of the fast fire. The Tandemkross game changer comp or added weight of the C-more and mount seemed to make the dot bounce less.

I know volquartsen makes good stuff but for what I am doing it's not worth it to me. |

Who makes the cmore mount? I googled staiplin and didn't see anything. A lot of my friends jumped on the sideways cmore bandwagon for uspsa and steel. I have yet to shoot one. After using her pistol at a couple matches, I am converting my pistol to the C-more and 90 mount. The dot is way brighter and bigger and the view is way bigger. |
