    Just shot my 22/45 lite and the trigger just felt all wrong. It wasn't heavy just didn't like the length of pull. It has way too much play. Anyone else have this problem?

    Volquartzen makes a great kit. Majestic arms makes a great kit called the 3.2 quick strip kit that I would also recommend. Try the speed strip kit with the mark ii style bushing first. It really cleaned up my trigger. With the vq parts- you get what you pay for and you'll have an amazing gun.

    Mine actually benefitted from adding the hammer. The trigger improvement was progressive. I made my own trigger first (because no one makes a flat trigger) and my own hammer bushing, and then lightly stoned the sear and hammer for some improvement. When the Volquartsen sear came in, I installed it and realized a significant improvement in feel and weight. My buddy's gun still had a slightly "better" trigger and he'd bought the whole kit and had been using it for a long time. Since I needed some other stuff from Midway, I added the Volquartsen hammer to my cart on a whim. After installing it, I noticed improvement again, and am completely happy. Maybe my stock hammer was worse than what is typical?

    The whole point of this thread is to say that you don't need all of that, just the sear.
    Well shit, I guess it's only money.

    Bought the kit annd a Volquartsen mag plate.

    Now for the install and test.

    Awesome looking 22/45. Brownells has 3packs of the mag bumpers. My dad needs them because he never seats mags all the way without them. I've done it before too. They're cheap and they keep you shooting.

    I just got something new for mine. Spectre ii from Silencerco. It makes shooting way more enjoyable.

    How do you like the Spectre ii? I still need an NFA trust, but I think that's my next purchase for mine.

    It's heavy and quiet. It works better on my 22/45 and p22 than my 10/22. I used super colibri and cci AR Tactical. The pistols made the cci that's labeled at 1200fps subsonic. So I assume any ammo rated under 1200 will be subsonic with the spectre ii in a barrel less than 5". On the 10/22 the cci was supersonic and had a crack. Still quiet but less spectacular.

    The spectre ii should last a lifetime.

    Misfeeds or miseject. Does it do it on the first round out of the mag or the whole time? Could be a lube problem. Mine likes to run a little wet.
    Is the magazine seating properly?

    Misfeeds...it ejects usually well, teh first few cartridges shoot okay, then it jams or misfeeds, when I open it up,
    the cartridge is laying in the feed area...or it its in the mag and wont set up for the loader to push it in...gets a bit frustrating ...

    I have a accurize kit coming soon for it..as well as some williams sights...I am new to this for the most part, so forgive the questions and lack of
    knowledge...

    Check the breach face of the barrel for damage.

    That.
    Also it sounds like the mags may be dragging. They are easy to take apart. You tube is your friend. A little WD40 will flush out anything in them. Then just a light oiling will make them feed better. Mine were like that and would misfeed when new. Sometimes, especially from a full mag would feed fine and then the follower would stick and jamb.

    Mine jams when it gets dirty. I run it suppressed so it doesn't take long.

    Jimmy may run his wet but mine likes it dry. When I clean it I wipe all of the oil off and use compressed air to make sure the nooks and crannies are dry too. That's where the gunk likes to build up and cause problems.
