Ruger MKIII Light Strikes

[StPatrick]

I've been experiencing light strikes in my MKIII too often to be chalked up to cheap ammo (e.g. approximately a 4% failure rate).

Here's the details: Volquartsen ignition parts - trigger, hammer, sear, firing pin, though the disconnector remains stock. The firing pin channel is clean; I cleaned it after experiencing the light strikes, but the problem persisted.

Along with, but potentially separate from, the light strike issue, I was experiencing soft resets. Dialing in some more pre-travel fixed this issue, but the light strikes remain.

In full-stock configuration, the pistol only misfired when it was an ammo issue, based on my reloading failed rounds and re-striking.

Thoughts? I appreciate the input of anyone here who reads the whole post first most especially.

I did a full Volquartsen make-over on my Mark III hunter and ran into trouble with light strikes when using the Volquartsen hammer. Once I switched that one part back to factory orignal I never came across the problem again except for a few cheap ammo problems.

Yep. Put the factory hammer back in. Sometimes, the VQ parts just can't hit hard enough. Its been known to happen somewhat regularly.
