22/45 (or MarkII) Trigger Job?

[Kframe]

Hey all, I'm fairly handy, and have done work on many revolvers, but don't have a lot of experience with autos.

I just got a new .22/.45 (the P-4) and think I may want to smooth up the trigger some.
I think I'll run 500-1000 rounds or so through it before using any stones or files, but if it still needs smoothing after the initial break-in, I'd like to do it myself.

Anyone have any tips, or know any links to info about home trigger-jobs on the Rugers?

Oh, BTW, I took it out for it's first spin on Saturday... I LOVE THIS GUN!
Why did I wait so long to get it???

I haven't tried to improve the trigger of my 22/45 using the stock parts, but I did install one of Tom Volquarten's "accurizing kits". www.volquartsen.com The parts are drop in and the difference is substantial.

www.marvelproducts.com and www.clarkcustomguns.com also offer replacement triggers that I've heard good things about.

Goos Luck...

Run the 1000 rounds through it and I don't think you will need any more trigger work.

No tips here

I bought one when they first came out and had some problems with it. Actually, I the first one was so bad I exchanged it at the store for a second one. I guess I don't learn too fast, huh?

I sent it back to Ruger and they fixed everything up right and did a perfect 40-ounce trigger job for free. I eventually sold it because it still wasn't as good as my old Single Six with the 32-ounce factory trigger.

Good luck.

The only trigger work I did to mine was to install an overtravel screw in the trigger. Nice improvement, btw.
