Kept the oem trigger for 2 years, finally got a Bx this last Christmas. It's definitely better than the oem. Like you, I couldn't afford a Kidd. Best prices I found for the Bx were on ebay. Got mine for $65 when everywhere else was $90.
If you shoot your 1022 quite a bit, I'd say get it!
Now that Brimstone is back, that would be my go-to unless going with a full Kidd trigger group.
X2, the Volquartsen is the best budget option.I don’t feel undergunned with my BX, although mine does have the Tactical Innovations housing and blade purely for looks.
If you already have the STD Ruger trigger assembly, then you might want to check out the Volquartsen hammer kit on Ebay for $20 something shipped.
I agree completely. About 20oz is about perfect. Also have noticed that on some that break at a little higher poundage a trigger shoe really helps. Small item with big returns.BX is a decent trigger for most people. I’ve had 5 10/22’s still own 4. Every one has a different trigger, from a custom clean up job on a stock trigger on up to a timney. For me, there can be too light of a pull. I have tried custom cz’s with 8 ounce pulls,that’s way too light for me, even on the bench.
I work with my hands, so my fingers are pretty strong. And years of abusing them means they don’t have the nerve response they used to have. So 2 1/2 pounds is really low for me. 3 1/2 pound triggers are pretty good for me, and even a 6 pound trigger isn’t awful.
More than pull weight it is the take up, smoothness of pull, and break of the trigger that matters to me. Overtravel doesn’t matter that much to me either. Granted I am not competing, just enjoying making holes in paper or hitting clay pigeons.
I have a couple low end drop-in triggers on ARs, and on any AR I at least do the poor man’s trigger job to minimize the take-up. A crisp trigger matters more to me than pull weight.
Hey man, sorry you're having trouble. I answer all emails a couple times a week, so if you aren't getting responses, something is wrong. I have a ton of emails come in so I don't recognize your name right off, I apologize, but there's a disconnect somewhere here. You could try directly emailing me with your order number to, [email protected]. I would say PM me here, but I'm not on that much.Have you contacted Brimstone in the last 6-8 weeks? I placed my order with them Nov,11. Had several emails during Dec and Jan but nothing since. I have tried contacting them once a month seeking status of my order. Nothing heard in Feb, or March. I don't think once a month for updates is asking too much. I paid upfront and sent my trigger group. I know better but tried to save a few bucks. should have bought a Kidd to start with, you know the old saying "buy once ,cry once".
Contact made, I probably jumped the gun in criticizing, I know what it is like waiting on others to complete their work so I can finish mine.
Hopefully... today, lol. Theoretically I have shipment that was just delivered. I've been working on Cerakoting parts (and finishing up the Cerakote area) today and haven't processed them in yet. Hopefully tonight I can get them back up on the website.David, any idea when you're getting BX trigger groups in stock? @Brimstone
Please do yourself a big favor and send your factory trigger group to Brimstone Gunsmithing. You can choose how you want your trigger and their prices are very reasonable. They have all the information on their site.I think I've (almost) convinced myself to "pull the trigger" on a Ruger BX. I've read a lot of posts on here. My problem is that I start getting excited and then someone will file a complaint on their experience and ruin the party for me. I guess I'm just too danged sensitive. Budget is definitely an issue here. Of course a Timney or a Kidd would be amazing but they're just not in the cards. Convince me why or why not I should open my already tight fist. Thanks in advance. Oh...and I love this forum. I'm learning a lot.
are you going to offer replacement trigger blades for the BX?..I want to replace my plastic parts with aluminum..ideally with anodized aluminum..Hopefully... today, lol.

We have them already, that's what we use in our BX trigger work. I believe we were the very first ones to market with an aluminum trigger blade. However, I don't have any in stock to sell right now, as I'm still working on getting my CNC machine back up and running to machine more of them. With luck, it will be cranking out triggers this weekend, and once I've got an inventory back up again, I'll list the triggers for sale by themselves. Right now I need everyone I've got for trigger jobs.are you going to offer replacement trigger blades for the BX?..I want to replace my plastic parts with aluminum..ideally with anodized aluminum..
