About the Apex Tactical Competition Trigger

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

Look, if you’re running a Ruger MKIV 22/45, you already know the factory trigger leaves something to be desired. Apex Tactical builds these kits specifically for the MKIV 22/45, and they don’t mess around.

This Competition Trigger Kit (part 117114) comes in black, and it’s designed to drop right into your pistol with no permanent modifications. The kit includes the trigger, a sear, and all the springs you need. The result? A clean, crisp break around 2.75 to 3 pounds. No creep, no grit. Just a solid wall and a predictable let-off. That’s the difference between ringing steel and watching it stand there.

Apex Tactical is a known name in the industry—they’ve been building performance parts for years, and this kit is one of their best for rimfire shooters. It’s machined from billet aluminum with a hardcoat anodized finish, so it’ll hold up to the dry-fire drills and the dusty desert air without wearing out. The trigger shoe has a flat face, which helps with consistent finger placement. That might sound like a small thing, but when you’re shooting stages or chasing tight groups, it matters.

Installation is straightforward if you’ve done trigger work before. If not, your local gunsmith can handle it in under an hour. Either way, you’ll notice the difference immediately. The reset is short and tactile—no guessing whether the sear caught.

No fuss, no delays.

If you’re serious about your MKIV 22/45, this is the trigger to buy. Order now and stop fighting that stock pull.
