Suppressors Ruger Mark II pistol: Modifications?

[1911fan]

Just picked up a nice stainless Mark II, and can't resist the urge to make it 'better' somehow. I plan to thread the barrel for a can, any other suggestions?

And yes, I tried the 'Search' function first.

volquartsen trigger. I am pretty sure they make one for the mkII

Are you getting an off the shelf can? There's a system out there for the Mk 2's that employ the 8" bull barrel. About half of it gets machined away and the baffles are built inside the existing shell of the barrel.

I can't imagine it's great for the velocity to go from a 8" to a 4" barrel, but the idea is certainly neat. More of a "working" piece.

I love my Ruger Mk 2's, enough that I bought one for my little brother when he hits 21 in a couple weeks. Enjoy it, a new trigger might be a nice thing to have. I noticed that the stock trigger got better after about 1000 rounds without cleaning it.

Thanks- I'll have to look into that. The trigger could be better, but may be adjustable?

I like the AWC Amphibian, which is (I think) what I think you're talking about. Sadly, my home state does not allow me to use Federally approved suppressors in-state, so I have to go to Oregon or Idaho to play with them. I'll at least thread the barrel so my Pilot will attach, but don't think I want a dedicated/integral can at this time.

Check out Clark Custom Guns, they do alot for the MKII's.

I have a Clark trigger in my MKII. I can highly recommend it.

+1 volquartsen trigger, a bit tricky to drop in but worth the result. Call Mike a Tornado Tech for your threading needs. You won't be disappointed.
