Ruger MK IV Trigger Kit Now Available for Pre-Order from Apex Tactical

Apex Tactical recently announced their new Ruger MK IV trigger kit and have just opened up pre-orders. By the time this press release publishes, the Apex Ruger MK IV trigger kit will be shipping to consumers.

Owners of the MK IV or MK IV 22/45 pistols will find options in either a red or black anodized finish. The trigger provides an improved trigger pull with a lighter weight, reduced overtravel, and a more crisp trigger break. Most importantly, the Apex trigger retains the factory drop safety values.

Both versions of the Apex Tactical Ruger MK IV trigger kit will carry an MSRP of $89.95. You can place a preorder on the Apex Ruger MK IV trigger kit product pages or learn more about the Apex Tactical product line on the Apex website.

More from Apex:

Apex Tactical Specialties announces that customers can now pre-order the new Action Enhancement Kits for the Ruger Mk IV model pistols. Apex kits are available for both the Mk IV and the Mk IV 22/45 with either a black or red anodized trigger.

Designed, tested and manufactured by Apex to provide an improved, more responsive trigger pull in the Ruger Mk IV pistols, the Action Enhancement Kit replaces the factory trigger and hammer with Apex components that lighten the trigger pull weight, deliver a crisp trigger break and reduce overall trigger travel.

Each kit includes a safety plate that maintains factory safety values, even when put through Apex’s extensive drop-testing process which is conducted from six feet onto concrete. Also in each kit is a red anodized magazine safety delete plate, which when installed, allows the pistol to fire without the magazine inserted. Installing this plate is optional, but Apex recommends it be used for competition purposes only.

The new kits can be pre-ordered now from ApexTactical.com. Orders will begin shipping on Tuesday, August 7, 2018.
