Top Gun
Just got my Kidd single stage trigger group in the mail. I immediately opened the box and said WOW! This is a finely machined piece of equipment.Next I went to clean my 1022 to prepare it for installation. Simple remove and replace. The old original Ruger trigger group is like a Ford Escort next to the Rolls Royce that Kidd has created! Next I went to the range with 3 types of ammo at 100 yards. CCI Mini Mag 36g, CCI Target Standard velocity 40g, and CCI Blazer 40g.<br /><br />Prior to the Kidd trigger I grouped as follows @ 100 yards:<br />CCI Mini Mag 36g : 4 inches with regular fliers<br />CCI Target Standard velocity : 4 inch groups with no fliers<br />CCI Blazer : 8 inch group with regular fliers<br /><br />Kidd Single Stage Trigger installed:<br />CCI Mini Mag 36g : 3 inches with NO fliers<br />CCI Target Standard velocity : 2 inch groups TIGHT<br />CCI Blazer : 4 inch group with NO fliers<br /><br />Note: I am a good marksman, but I am not an expert. I believe that with practice I should be able to improve now that I have a platform that is better than I am. The scope I am using is set at 9 power.<br /><br />I plan on saving up for a Kidd complete package. . . Why be average!<br /><br />Worth EVERY penny! I waited a year to finally buy a Kidd trigger group. My only regret is that I waited so long.<br /><br />My advice is to just BUY it NOW!<br /><br />Update: I have been practicing more and have tried out various types of ammo. Using the CCI Target Standard velocity and Remington target Standard velocity yesterday I was able to maintain a nickle sized group at 50 yards ten shots in. Note that I have also installed the Kidd firing pin and extractor and had 100% reliability in ignition and extraction.<br />Update 2: I have been practicing with my Kidd trigger group for over a month now. I have upgraded my ammo to Wolf Match and started using an X7 Bench rest filled with about 30 pounds of sand. My 50 yard group of 5 shots is easily inside of one inch. A half inch group is common. At 100 yards a group of 5 regularly at 1.5 inch with a one inch group common.
