VOLQUARTSEN | RUGER MK II & MK III PERFORMANCE UPGRADES
Gold on the Outside. Competition-Grade Inside.
The Volquartsen Pistol Competition Kit brings a striking gold Target Trigger with a crisp 2.25 lb design pull, plus Volquartsen's extractor and firing pin upgrades, to the Ruger MK II and MK III. Made in USA, built for both target and 22/45 frames, and assembled into one complete trigger-and-bolt package.
Ruger's MK II and MK III pistols have earned their place on countless firing lines, and plenty of them are still doing the work today. What separates a good one from a great one is usually the trigger and the bolt. Volquartsen's Pistol Competition Kit addresses both at once, pairing its Accurizing Kit for the MK II/MK III with the Bolt Tune-Up Kit so the pistol you already trust gains the refinement steel shooters and bullseye competitors look for.
A Crisp 2.25 lb Gold Target Trigger.
At the center of the Accurizing Kit is Volquartsen's gold Target Trigger, supported by precision fire-control components and a CNC-machined disconnector. Volquartsen designed the system for a crisp, clean 2.25 lb pull—the kind of break that makes small targets feel bigger and helps you hold your sight picture through the shot. The gold trigger gives a classic Ruger an unmistakable accent. Prefer a more traditional look? The Volquartsen MK II/MK III Competition Kit with Black Trigger and Silver Bolt Release carries the same 2.25 lb design and bolt upgrades.
The Bolt Tune-Up Completes the Kit.
A better trigger deserves better bolt components. The kit adds Volquartsen's Exact Edge Extractor and SureStrike Firing Pin, engineered for more positive extraction and consistent rimfire ignition—exactly what you want when the round count climbs during practice and match days. If you only need the bolt side of the upgrade, the Volquartsen Bolt Tune-Up Kit is available on its own.
Ruger owners have plenty of respected aftermarket names to choose from, including Tactical Solutions and TANDEMKROSS. For a complete trigger-and-bolt refresh from a single source, Volquartsen's Competition Kit keeps the parts matched and the build simple.
Shooting a Ruger MK IV Instead?
The MK IV uses different fire-control parts, so this kit is not a match. MK IV owners should choose the Volquartsen MK IV Competition Kit with Gold Target Trigger, the MK IV Competition Kit with Gold 19.22 Flat Trigger, or the trigger-only Volquartsen MK IV Accurizing Kit. Browse everything for that generation in our Ruger Mark IV Parts & Upgrades Collection.
