Apex Tactical Specialties Inc Competition Action Enhancement Kit For Ruger Mkiv/Mkiv 2 Red

The Apex Tactical Specialties Competition Action Enhancement Kit transforms your Ruger Mk IV or Mk IV 2 into a target-ready platform by addressing the factory trigger's limitations. If you shoot competition, run drills at the range, or simply want a firearm that responds with precision, this drop-in kit replaces the stock trigger and hammer with components engineered for speed and control. The result is a dramatically improved shooting experience that makes follow-up shots faster and more accurate.

What makes this kit stand out is the combination of refinements: the trigger pull drops to approximately 3.0 lbs from the factory weight, and the trigger break becomes crisp and predictable. Over-travel—the mushy movement after the break—is cut by over 80%, and total trigger travel is reduced by around 25%. These changes compound to give you a competitive edge on the clock and tighter groups on paper. The kit also includes a safety plate that preserves the factory safety function, so you're not sacrificing reliability for performance.

Included is a steel magazine safety delete, which—when installed—allows the pistol to fire without a magazine seated. This is a competition-focused feature and is recommended for match use only. Installation is straightforward on Mk IV platforms, making this one of the most accessible upgrades you can do to your .22 competition rig or training pistol.
