My forum search turned up nothing on this, so thought I would post mine.

Found a U.S.A. company that does the paperwork so that you can just order from them pretty painlessly.

They ship extended Magazine bumpers, I have and use them, but from a different company. Really like them.
I ordered a smooth Victory trigger, Game Changer recoil compensator, Kanewolf Slingshot, Williams Fire Sights, Eagle's Talon extractor.

Eagle's Talon extractor- don't know if it works better, but seems just as good at the very least
Victory trigger- Love it. Easy to install. Did I mention that I love it?
Recoil Compensator- Worked fine. Let another guy at the range try it and he said it gave much less kick than his pistol, using my ammo. Think he was using a Norinco 1911 style 22.
Williams Fire Sights- Original reason for this purchase. Absolutely love it.
Kanewolf Slingshot- Think I got a lemon. It happens, worked in manufacturing all my life. Mine worked first try but not after that. Hole that spring sits in was elongated somehow in assembly and after first try, spring got stuck in hole fully compressed and would not release. Had to remove it to get it out. Reinstalled OEM part. Originally I liked the idea of the slingshot, but the thumb lever is almost flush instead of protruding like the OEM part. I like it protruding when I need to use it for clearing a stove pipe. The more I use this pistol the less stove pipes I see, but I do like the thumb lever to protrude to make this procedure easier.

All said and done... the fibre optic sights and trigger from TandemKross are really nice, and some other stuff too.

Pic was taken before trigger was adjusted, and Kanewolf slingshot removed for OEM replacement.
 
I bought the tandemkross combo pack ( not bad for 94.99 ) The Ti firing pin, Slingshot, Extractor, Extended Mag release. LCI delete, Mag Safety Delete. Still waiting to be installed since my MKIII 2245 is still in the shop for warranty. I'll be placing a order soon since 30 day is expired for the mag bumpers and the victory trigger.

Mines not threaded so I got a VQ V comp on order else wheres.
 
super fun gun with the exception that i HATE to take it down to clean it!
I had issues stripping pistol first time after watching and following youtube videos on how to do it. After the first time, followed the video on Rugers website and no longer dislike it. Where did you get your compensator and grips?

Trigger looks sweet. Never heard of it. Can you PM me where you ordered it from?

Look forward to hearing how you like your upgrades when you get a chance to try them out. What did your pistol need warranty for?

They drilled and tapped the receiver for the factory scope base crooked. Base installed was noticeably to the left and down.

I don't really like their slide racker they got. But be ordering one from Brownells. I'm making a mini race gun. But after watching a video.... Hmmm

I have that easy pull thing. It is quite nice. Gets a little loose every once and awhile. I would use some loctite, or just snug it up every once and awhile. I also have there compensator...good stuff
