External safeties are at best a crutch and at worst an actual hazard?
Will the old parts be returned to me?
No. We will keep the old parts. You should remove all aftermarket accessories before returning the grip frame assembly to us. While we will attempt to return accessories to you, we cannot guarantee that is the case. If you have installed any aftermarket trigger components, they will not be returned.
So.... If I send mine in with Volquartzen internals, what happens? Can they just ship me the new safety?
Looks like that'll get Volqstolen:
I have added aftermarket accessories to my pistol; will these be returned?

Also, to the extent the installed aftermarket parts are being replaced pursuant to the retrofit (sear and safety), these will not be returned.

I got a recall on my saturn airbags.
Trying to find a new car without an airbag. Not easy!
Just pull the fuse and put some electrical tape over the fault light. That's practically the same thing.
For full disclosure, my Victory 22 made a trip back to the factory. The tight take-down screw was working so well it pulled the barrel lug nut right out of the gun!I looked at buying an Mark IV, but opted for the S&W Victory instead. (One reason $1oo less retail). Only complaint from their users was the very tight take-down set screw out of the box. But my gun does not have that problem. It's a beautiful piece of workmanship at a great price.
I'm struggling to see the problem with this?
Ruger recently discovered that all Mark IV™ pistols (including 22/45™ models) manufactured prior to June 1, 2017 have the potential to discharge unintentionally if the safety is not utilized correctly. In particular, if the trigger is pulled while the safety lever is midway between the "safe" and "fire" positions (that is, the safety is not fully engaged or fully disengaged), then the pistol may not fire when the trigger is pulled. However, if the trigger is released and the safety lever is then moved from the mid position to the "fire" position, the pistol may fire at that time.
Does anyone know if Volquartzen has said whether or not this needs to be done if their accurizing kit is installed?
