Great, thanks for the info. Haven't shot a true steel match in several years.

They shoot all 8 stages so being enough ammo. You need 190 round if you don’t miss. And having 5 magazines is a plus or a buddy to reload your magazines while your shooting.
Mike Ryder Is the match Director and a nice guy.

Thanks. I've got 5 magazines and plenty of ammo, so all good there. Right now my Mark IV is in pieces trying to install this Volksquartsen accurizing kit. The damn spacer for the sear (specific to 22/45's) - the hole in the spacer is too tight for the sear ping to go thru it. Trying to figure out how to problem solve this so I can shoot the new trigger on Saturday

I got the hole opened up and I’m about 80% done with the upgrade. I’m having a little trouble getting the hammer to seat...I got it in, safety seemed to be working, but I don’t think I had the safety fully positioned and the hammer locked up again. I had to step away from it, tomorrow I’m sure I’ll get it done.

and I know I’ve got plenty of time before the match, but I wanna shoot this bad boy at the indoor range this Saturday lol

Sounds like your on the right track, rugers can be tricky. Hopefully it will all work out.

I took a 30 minute break, went back down to my shop and I figured it out. Function checks all seemed fine, trigger is light and crisp...now I’ll hope it fires when I take it to the range on Saturday.
