Apex Tactical 117114 Competition Trigger Kit Black Fits Ruger MKIV 22/45

Apex Tactical 117114 Competition Trigger Kit – Black, Fits Ruger MKIV 22/45

If you’re running a Ruger MKIV 22/45 and you’re still pulling that factory trigger, you’re leaving performance on the table. Here at Kentucky Gun Shop in Louisville, we see plenty of these pistols come through for range work and competition, and the first thing shooters ask about is cleaning up the pull. This Apex Tactical Competition Trigger Kit is the fix. Apex Tactical is the manufacturer, and they’ve earned their reputation for making drop-in parts that actually work without needing a gunsmith to fit them.

This black trigger kit gives you a crisp, consistent break with a short, positive reset. It’s designed for the Ruger MKIV 22/45 platform specifically, so no guesswork or modification required. The kit includes the trigger, a sear, and the necessary springs to get your pull weight down to a clean, repeatable 2.5 to 3 pounds. That’s a noticeable improvement over stock, especially if you’re shooting bullseye, steel challenge, or just want tighter groups at the range. The trigger shoe itself is flat-faced with a smooth, textured surface that gives your finger a solid purchase every time.

We stock these right here in our Louisville shop because they sell fast. Local guys pick them up for their MKIV builds, and we ship them out daily to folks across the country. Yes, we’re a licensed FFL dealer, and we ship to all 50 states. Whether you’re in Kentucky or out in California, we can get this trigger kit to your doorstep. Just make sure your receiving FFL is squared away and we handle the rest.

A few things to know before you buy: this kit fits the Ruger MKIV 22/45 models only, not the standard MKIV or older MKIII versions. If you have the MKIV 22/45 Lite, Target, or Hunter, you’re good to go. Installation is straightforward if you’re familiar with the Ruger takedown, but if not, any local gunsmith can handle it in ten minutes. No need to send the gun off or wait weeks.

At $176.00, this is a fair price for a trigger that punches above its weight. You’re not paying for hype; you’re paying for a reliable, repeatable trigger that will make your Ruger shoot better than it has any right to. If you’ve got questions about compatibility or installation, give us a call at the shop or stop by. We’re easy to find off the Watterson. And remember, Kentucky Gun Shop ships nationwide via FFL – so no matter where you are, we can get this Apex Tactical trigger kit to you.
