This Competition Trigger Kit is a drop-in replacement for the Ruger Mk IV and Mk IV 22/45 that addresses the factory trigger’s long, gritty take-up and excessive overtravel. The kit delivers a crisp break at approximately 3.0 lbs, reduces overtravel by roughly 80%, and shortens total travel by about 25%. A steel magazine safety delete is included, allowing the pistol to fire without the magazine inserted—recommended for competition use only.
