Last winter I picked up a Ruger MKIII 22/45 4" Bull Barrel .22 LR Handgun. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite handguns.

However I did some modifications to mine. The first thing I did was to mill off the raised portions of the grip panels, drilled & tapped 4 holes in the grip area. I then inserted 1911 Grip Screw Bushings into the grip panel and then installed Hogue Rubber Finger Groove 1911 grips to my Ruger. That made it feel totally different (and better in my opinion).

I then removed the original front sight and replaced it with a HiViz Fiber Optic Front Sight. I also replaced the Ruger Square Notch Rear Sight Blade with Ruger's V Notch Rear Sight Blade.

I also replaced the Ruger Factory Trigger with a Clark Custom Guns Steel Ruger Trigger. These come slightly oversized in width in the area of the pivot pin holes so they have to be fitted to the the frame so there is less side to side movement when fitted properly.

I also installed a Volquartsen Custom Target Sear. At the same time I also slightly polished the engagement surface of the Ruger Factory Hammer. The result is a much better feeling trigger pull that is super crisp at 2 pounds.

These are great little guns. Mine was great out of the box but the modifications I did I did myself (except for the Grip Modification) and made it more user friendly for me.
