Description
The Volquartsen Target Sear cuts right to what matters: a trigger that breaks clean without creep. If you've shot a stock Mark II or Mark III, you know that factory sear can feel gritty and heavy. This replacement changes that significantly.
Designed specifically for the Mark II and Mark III platform, the sear is wire EDM-cut from hardened A2 tool steel to achieve the precise geometry that produces a shorter, faster, cleaner break. You'll typically see trigger weights drop into the 2 to 2.5 pound range, though exact results depend on your specific pistol's setup. The real difference isn't just lighter though—it's how smooth the transition feels when the hammer releases.
Installation and Compatibility
This is a true drop-in part for both Mark II and Mark III models (including 22/45 variants). No fitting is required, and no special tools are needed for installation. The sear is not compatible with Mark IV pistols, which use a different internal design. Once installed, you'll notice the improvement immediately at the range.
Why Target Shooters Choose This Upgrade
A better trigger matters when accuracy counts. Competitive shooters and precision enthusiasts consistently report that moving from the factory sear to the Volquartsen design improves their consistency and confidence. The cleaner break helps you know exactly when the hammer will fall, reducing anticipation and flinch. Combined with a quality trigger, this becomes a fundamental part of a properly tuned Mark pistol.
