My new Ruger 22/45 22LR with Burris FastFire II and Viridian C5 green laser sight. So far I love it, smooth shooting little pistol, plus its nice being able to put 1911 grips on it. Might put the Volquartsen trigger on it soon. Enjoy!

Is it really that good? I guess for $10 it couldn't hurt to try it.

Do any 1911 grip panels work, or just certain ones?

Re: Got my new plinker put together today!
any will work, with a little trimming
i'd skip the sam bushing and put that money towards the volquartsen kit.....it's worth the money, for sure....and the kit has everything in it that'd the sam bushing would do, plus a MUCH MUCH MUCH better trigger

The Pachmayr grips I have on mine only had to be trimmed by the mag release button, but that's only because its a wrap around style grip. I put a few only 1911 grips on it and they seemed to fit fine. Some may need to be trimmed at the top edge by the slide release button.

Yeah I think the Volquartsen trigger will be next. I've seen some guys put the Mark II trigger in the Mark III models. Whats the difference in doing that?

I have basically the same gun/setup with a TacSol can . I put on one of the Majestic Arms kits and love it.

Re: Got my new plinker put together today!
If you get the MKIII Accurizing kit you will need a bushing like Sam's to remove the mag safety. Mags will then just drop out. You can save some money by using your stock hammer and just buying the Volquartsen sear and any trigger of your choice, without buying the the whole kit. The Sam Lam bushing will tighten up the trigger group mating parts as the bushing has a slightly larger diameter that intersects with the disconnector arm "window". This group fit will improve your trigger slightly by eliminating a small amount of take-up in the trigger pull.
