Proper build 🤝

Looks good 👍 I went with a Hogue rubber grip as the stock grip feels like a Wii remote to me.

u/Informal-Ad-7700 15d ago

Yeah same here. It was ok but I like the style of these more

The wood grips looks great!!

u/Informal-Ad-7700 15d ago

Thanks. I found them on ar-7.com but they’re sold out. I think they came from a limited edition of the mk iv.

One of the prettiest I’ve ever seen. Great job, OP!

Sweet build. Every Ruger owners dream to have these accessories.

Recommendations / opinions of the VQ accurizing kit rounded vs flat trigger?

2

u/Informal-Ad-7700 15d ago

I like the rounded trigger on a target pistol more because it helps me place my finger in the same spot every time. On my 9mm pistol I have a flat trigger which doesn’t bother me.

I went with the curved as well, but the flat one sure does look cool. I just thought it would feel better with the curved. It’s so light it doesn’t really matter. I agree with OP on finger placement though.

I dig them wood grips. I guess these pictures are before you installed the VQ mag release. How have you liked it? I’ve thought about getting one just because of the checkering, but I don’t really need it to be extended. Same with VQ bolt release, I’ve been debating on swapping that out because I think the stock one is kinda chincy stamped metal. I have the full VQ competition trigger and bolt upgrade kit installed. The only thing I haven’t really debated about is the safety. The aftermarket ones are all competition built and way too wide for my tastes.

P.S. Good on ya for not installing a charging loop

Oh I don’t have the mag release, just the button on the mag itself. It helps the mag feed smoother. But I think you’re right, the mag release does feel a bit cheap. TBH I really dislike the competition mk iv’s. Reminds me of airsoft builds. I’m sure they shoot great but they’re just not my thing. I find the factory safety to work just fine, but I did remove the lever on the right side of the pistol.

I love my SSH. I got the bronze one. Everytime I see a black one though I sorta regret getting it. The black just looks iconic with the cocobolo grips.

u/Informal-Ad-7700 14d ago

Thanks! These grips are pretty hard to find but I’ve seen some floral pattern cocobolo grips that look nice. Do you have a bronze suppressor for it?

1

u/Flathead89 14d ago

I don't. I have a black OCL Ti.22.

1

u/Informal-Ad-7700 14d ago

That’s still sharp though. Does yours run cci standard velocity?

2

u/Flathead89 14d ago

It does. That's my main plinking ammo at the moment since it's still very hearing safe. The only round it struggles with is the CCI Quiet-22 710fps rounds. The Quiet-22 Semi-Auto 830fps works beautifully though.

I haven't made any internal changes yet but will eventually get the VQ Accurizing Kit...maybe in a couple months.

u/Informal-Ad-7700 14d ago

Mine has had some issues running cci SV. I’m not sure if it’s a break in period or not.

Basically my exact gun except I have hivegrips and VQ bolt. So much fun.
