Someone mentioned a 22/45 mag modification.I would like to know about that as my mag doesn't drop out very well.It is a new gun but the mag kickout spring seems weak when you push the release button. Thanks olsherm

Some take out the mag safety and replace it with a custom made bushing available in lots of places. It does that job well and allows the gun to function with a chambered round and no mag inserted.....also allows assembly and disassembly without using the mag.
If your trigger is as bad as most of these, you'll wanna fix both issues at once using a Volquartsen accurizing kit for a MKII as well as a Volq MKII hammer bushing. This kit costs 8X what the spec bushing alone costs but fixes the trigger too.

Pretty good writeup on custom bushings here.

Could probably get by with the Volquartsen sear and adjustable trigger. No need for a hammer if you use the custom bushing.

Your HTML is messed up a little but I think I got the gist....and I've read that before....he posted it here once. I pretty much knew what I was getting into cost wise and have no regrets. It's the only way to fix all of the issues in one fun trip to the build bench. Once you buy the sear and the shoe, you're very close to the kit price....plus you still need a conversion bushing that costs more than the MKII bushing that fits the MKII hammer that's better than the stock hammer. You also aren't left with the needless and useless (for a 22/45) extended magazine release that resells on eBay for $15. Money is money. I regret buying the conversion piece alone because it didn't fix the largest issue, the sucky trigger.
