    I've been disappointed with the trigger pull on my Ruger MK III .22 pistol (5" Bull Barrel) since purchased, and finally decided to change out the trigger. The standard trigger always felt rough, heavy, long takeup, and had a lot of overtravel. I ordered a satin aluminum billet Volquartsen trigger to match the looks of the original trigger (they also have the black anodized aluminum trigger) from Midway. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/928133910/volquartsen-target-trigger-ruger-mark-ii-mark-iii-22-45?cm_vc=OBv1928133910. While I was at it, I changed out the hammer bushing to a MK II type and removed the magazine interlock. It made a substantial difference in trigger pull and resulting accuracy. It just feels better now.

    Just wondering if I should have also changed out the hammer and sear, and if they would make such a great difference as the trigger?

    Do a Google for 22/45 Sam bushing.... it's about 13.00 with shipping.... it will help a lot... or... spend 110.00 and get the Volquartsen trigger setup and be done with it....

    I just did the mod on my new Cobalt 22/45 using the VQ kit (with hammer and sear). I can tell you it's well worth the $$. Trigger pull is reduced to around three lbs( mine measured 2lbs 12oz),and feel is greatly improved.

    I bought the volquartsen accurizing kit for my 22/45 lite, and a tandemcross hammer bushing to eliminate the the mag interlock and could'nt be more pleased. The kit come with new sear and trigger mech.
