Ruger MK IV Lite, With a Little Finesse

[Bafflingbs]

I’m really digging this thing! It’s got the gold Volquartsen Firearms Accurizing Kit. (Awesome trigger upgrade!), the Hogue Ruger 22/45 MK IV Handgun Grip, in Green Lava. And, I removed the picitinny rail, because I like the sleeker look, and have no plans for a red dot. If you have one of the MK IV’s, the trigger upgrade is worth every penny. It feels like a buttery smooth 2-3lbs. Absolutely no grit!

That looks amazing! Thanks for the thumbs up, that's my next upgrade for mine!

I hear a lot about these trigger upgrades. I have a Mark 4 (not 22/45) and I don't hate the factory trigger. Maybe a little gritty but a nice clean break

I wish there was a decent way to mount a RDS on those pistols. Ruger is missing the boat on that, I feel. I'd snap one up were it not for that.

Isn't that a rail on the pistol in the first picture?

Ammoland has an article about that very thing. Apparently Ruger has a new variant without the rail and with a red dot mounting area.

Sweet! I love the gun, just hate red dots that sit too high off the bore center.

this is a madmacs SMSc/R0 mount, co-witnesses with factory rear, and a taller front sight. Yes and the VQ trigger kit is awesome, removes the stupid mag safety too.

I've got the Madmaccs on my Mark 4. Worked well.

That's badass!

That's badass!

I want a dot to COMPLIMENT the natural sight alignment and placement of irons, not to replace them. Too many mounts and pretty much every pic-rail mount on a handgun places the sight base too high. As I present, I use the front sight, as it comes into view, to guide the pistol to position for aimed shots. I pretty much always co-witness irons low in the window with every RD equipped handgun. I like a thin sight surround, and low mount so you basically see the irons, a dot, and as little of everything else as possible. more or less the madmacs base does this.

Thanks brother!

I didn’t hate the factory one either, until I installed this. It’s probably the sweetest trigger I’ve ever used

I agree. I don’t like pic-rails. I like clean lines

Yes sir! I removed it

I kinda like that! What suppressor is that? I’m thinking about getting another one.

That’s clean!!

Is the trigger upgrade easy to do?

Oh but there is! There is a rear sight dovetail mount for Ruger's that allow a rds to be mounted. I put a Burris fastfire2 on my mk3 15 years ago and it is still going strong and clangs my 3" steel at 100 yards with boring accuracy.

(I ended up removing the front sight all together)

I believe this is what I used. https://farrow.tech/ruger-mk-i-ii-iii-iv-low-profile-red-dot-mount/

3 outta 5, with 5 being very difficult. YouTube is very useful

Rugged Oculus in K configuration

I would have to agree wholeheartedly. The Volquartsen trigger is worth every penny.

I was looking at that, the Mustang 22, the Dead Air Mask and one other from Griffin

Very, very nice! Just curious though, why not the gold trigger? Our gun models are identical, and mine came with a gold trigger.
