Quote HistoryQuoted:
I bought 5 of them today at SHOT. They're about 4 weeks out before I get delivery. All I was waiting on was to "feel" the 4.5# trigger in semi. I'll be honest.......it's NOT as crisp as my Wilson TTU triggers, but its just as nice as the Timneys I have had in the past. So a "Timney Like" trigger feel in semi auto with the capability of going to position #3 for some "FUN TIME" is definitely worth the price of the "RIDE." 
Heck....most of my triggers are $275 now....the difference for the "FUN SWITCH" is only about ~$200 or so.  What are you talking about? It does not go to the "fun switch." Its an over priced crisp semi auto trigger. |

But its as close to a real FUN SWITCH as I will be owning. It does indeed go to position 3 and acts like a "bump fire" setting. What some see as "over priced" others see as a lot of fun. I am sure my rifles are full of stuff that you would consider overpriced.

A bit too pricey for my frugal tastes, however I do see the allure it has from some people.
To the buyers of these triggers, I hope you are either rich or handload. Personally I would spend the same money to SBR two lowers or save up for a suppressor. |

I was thinking the biggest advantage to this trigger was to be able to get bump fire like speeds but from the shoulder.

I put almost 300 rounds through mine today. It's going to take some getting used to for the brrrrrrap everyone is looking for. Over all its a very quick light trigger and easy to speed up doubles and triples for a three gun type event thanks to the assisted reset. It's not some easy bumpfire trigger that gives full auto. If you hold the trigger too tight as it resets the trigger will stay slightly engaged to the disconnector, so you still have to slightly let off to fire the next round. At the end of my ammo supply the stars aligned and the rhythm was perfect to get the brrrrap instead of very fast bang bang bang. I'm honestly not sure what I did different that time and ran through that mag very quickly without another one to duplicate results.
Upper used Adams Arms 7.5" PDW and an 11.5" Adams Arms upper with suppressor |

From the shoulder I could not get anything beyond 2-3 rounds at a time. I am still on the fence about whether or not I am going to sell the trigger. The main issue I have with it right now is getting consistent. Practice will help a lot, but I am picking it up kind of slow. My main concern of the number of rounds it will take me to pull off full mag dumps. One thing that would be very helpful from the factory is an explanation of what trigger techniques have yielded the best results. This would shorten the learning curve quite a bit.
I have heard there was a kaboom using a 9mm upper, but have not seen much about it. I would really like to try out my internally suppressed 9mm upper. I just can't risk damaging that setup, between the time and money I have wrapped up in it there is just too much of a risk. |

Yeah understood. Well if you get good with it let me know. I'd love to see someone who can be consistent with this thing, which i'm sure is possible, even if it's just a 2 or 3 round burst.

The 9mm KB thing seems odd to me, but I'm not familiar at all with 9mm AR's. The only blowback gun I have is a Thompson.
Is it common to have KB's with them? I would think that would have been more ammo related then related to the trigger? |

I would think that would have been more ammo related then related to the trigger? I bump fire my 9mm ar from time to time. I have noticed sometimes I have bulged brass. It is rare. But sometimes I get a flash that seemed off and I'll find a bulged case. Never blown. Just bulged. So if that is any indication. I have a Jard 3# trigger in the 9mm which makes bumping even from the shoulder, pretty easy with practice. But bursts, not consistent. Honestly, I want this trigger most for 22lr. Which luckily I have in large supply... For now.
So most of my testing/practice will be 22lr The same lower this trigger will go in is also my 300blk lower. So 210grain subs suppressed should be interesting. |

I still have a 9mm magazine block sitting around. I used it prior to buying a dedicated 9mm lower. Might have to dig it up and see how this trigger works with that.
The rifle I used in my video was a Spike's mid length and I was running a heavy buffer. Did not even think about it prior to shooting the video, but realized it when cleaning. I am thinking I am going to try a carbine length upper with a regular buffer next time. This should speed things up a little. Also have a Ruger SR556 piston I think I will try out. Guess I will keep the trigger around a little longer. |

I thought for sure that by now someone would post a video faster than mine. I am still on the fence about keeping it.
On a side not, I did receive a call from a very nice woman from the company apologizing profusely about my trigger being sent to the wrong address. That mess up resulting in my having to drive 40 miles to the nearest FedEx store. Not sure about anyone else at the company, because I have not spoken to them, but she was very nice. |
