Ruger 22/45 Trigger Improvement?

[lshel]

I have a 22/45 Lite and it has the magazine disconnect removed and a new hammer bushing and all mating parts polished. The trigger pull is good but there is alot of trigger take-up (travel) prior to hammer falling. Is there any may to eliminate or reduce the excess trigger travel?

thanks.

Volquartsen trigger and sear.

Agreed. I sent mine to Jeff at Guns and Leather and he installed the Volquartsen. Absolutely brilliant trigger pull!

Granted, mine is a Mark II

I installed mine myself, it is actually fairly easy to do with the many instructions online.   While you are in there you can turn your MK3 into a MK2 by getting rid of the mag safety and chamber indication, there is a kit for conversion that you can buy with your trigger kit If you want.   If you have a mk2 you can use those parts, that is what I did, but only one gun will function -- you can't put the extra 3 parts in the 2 and get both working properly.   You can disable chamber indicator but leave the rotating piece in place, glue it in and it will keep the hole closed and looking nice.

 

The trigger kit is very, very worth it.   A pair of set screws greatly reduce the pre and post travel making it "almost" as good as a multi thousand dollar target gun.

Ordered a Volquartsen trigger from Midway today. I've already replaced chamber indicator and replaced magazine disconnect with tactiacal hammer bushing.  Hopefully I'll be able to install trigger by Thursday. Thanks for input.
