Apex announces the release of the Apex Competition Trigger Kit for the Mk IV and Mk IV 22/45 model pistols from Ruger. It’s available with either a black or red anodized flat-faced trigger. The trigger is adjustable for over-travel, making it a significant performance upgrade for one of the most popular 22LR handguns.

The Apex Competition Trigger Kit is Made in America

Designed, tested and manufactured by Apex to provide an improved, more responsive trigger pull in the Ruger Mk IV and Ruger 22/45 pistols. The Competition Trigger Kit replaces the factory trigger, hammer and sear with Apex components. When installed the kit lightens the trigger pull weight to approximately 3.0 lbs. Additionally, it reduces over-travel by approximately 80% and overall trigger travel by 25%. This results in a lighter, crisper trigger break that is ideal for both the competition and recreational shooter.

The Competition Trigger Preserves Factory Safety Function

Included in each kit is a safety plate that maintains factory safety values, even when put through Apex’s extensive drop-testing process which is conducted from six feet onto concrete. Also in each kit is a magazine safety delete, which when installed, allows the pistol to fire without the magazine inserted. Installing this component is optional, but Apex recommends it be used for competition purposes only.
