Reasons I dislike the Ruger OEM MK series trigger.
1-no overtravel adjustment.
2- no pretravel adjustment.
The following are related to the trigger, and regard trigger 'feel', but are not the trigger.
3- too much creep after pre-travel taken up.
4- too gritty at break point.
5- too heavy of pull weight before hammer falls.
Solution to the last two points involved:
What am I comparing it to?
Keep in mind that I also really disliked the Beretta 87Target's trigger, until I changed the trigger to one with overtravel stop, and changed the sear bar, and had the sear bar welded up/ground down where I wanted to reduce a lot of the other characteristics I disliked. I did all the fitting myself, and had a gunsmith just tack weld the bar where I told him to.
Now, it is where I want it.
Admittedly, I am a trigger snob.
a good friend of mine likes my guns, but doesn't notice how bad his trigger are- as they go bang when he wants them to.

Solution to the last two points involved:
- replacement hammer
- replacement hammer bushing
- replacement sear
- replacement trigger bar/disconnector.

What am I comparing it to?
- 1911 with full 3lb trigger set up [$2000+ versions- not a RIA $550 version, even though I have the RIA and like it].
- High Standard 106 Trophy
- High Standard 102 Trophy
- High Standard HD Military
- Browning Buckmark
