I found a few more details of what is included...

I thought the whole purpose was to get the trigger pull lowered to a decent lb pull weight 3.5 lb for a mark IV

 

Yep...and you can get down to a "4.5# Pull" on the MkIV 22\45...WOW!!!????

Ted

 

a little polishing of the hammer and sear will achieve 3.5 # trigger and wont cost a dime just a little time.

 

PS,

Thanks for the heads-up info! New products are always interesting...just not always as expected?!

For a few bucks more, dropped in my MkIV Hunter the TK fully adjustable Victory trigger, the TK Blast Shield mag disconnect and the VQ Sear and Disconnector.

My OOB 5.25# pull became a crisp breaking 1.25# pull! PT was reduced from 1\4" to 1\16" with OT reduced from 1\4" to 1\8". Positive disconnector\sear reset is now at 1\8"!! Full trigger travel had been over 1\2" (PT+Break+OT), now overall it is 3\16"!

For me this works well as I left the Ruger OEM Hammer in place! IMHO, the VQ MkIV Sear+Disconnector contributes 85% of the huge overall 76% smooth trigger pull reduction improvement I now have in my new Hunter!!

When I installed the VQ Accuracy Kit in my MK IV, 22/45, I set the Pre-travel at about 1/16" and had an occasional dead trigger. I called VQ and they told me to back off the trigger screws to allow about 1/8". I now have the PT at 1/8" and the OT screw at slightly less. Problem solved.

 

Lot's of trashing going on here for a trigger that nobody's even tried yet.

Triggers are just simple levers. The ratio of the arm length below the pivot pin (where you pull) to the arm length above the pin (where the sear pulls) determines how much leverage it produces. For normal "curved" triggers, this ratio is about 2.5:1. For flat triggers, this ratio is about 3.5:1. So the flat trigger will produce about 30% pull reduction where your finger can pull near the bottom. Your pull gauge can pull at the bottom where it can register nearly 40% reduction.

It's unfortunate that Apex decided to advertise pull weights on this front page. If you dig back into the material further, they do advertise 40% reduction. This trigger being the only change to pistol having a factory 5.5 pound pull and achieving 3.5 pounds is actually pretty good!

I would be willing to give this trigger a try. But I would want just the trigger for around $40, not the entire "kit" for $90.

The only advantage I would see to the Tandemkross trigger would be the pre-travel adjustment screw. Using the Apex trigger would be a LOT easier if you're wearing gloves. Besides, I could easily pin this Apex trigger like I did my factory MKII trigger. Only about 1/32" pre-travel on that puppy!

Full trigger travel had been over 3\4" (PT+Break+OT), now overall it is 3\16"!

Wow Ted. Your Hunter must be one strange animal. The entire front-to-back opening of the trigger guard in my NIB Standard model is only 1.25 inches.

It's total factory travel is only 3/8" with half of that being pre-travel. I just don't know how you were even able to get your finger onto your factory trigger.

Correct, same in my Hunter. Was recalling data on my 22\45 Lite that has a 1.5" trigger guard opening in the polymer grip frame...my bad! Made corrections to post #5!

Looks awesome. I wonder if it will swap out for my TK Victory trigger in my VQ'd 22/45 Lite.

 

Have an Apex trigger in my EDC Shield.....love it.
