Hi all,

The test shoot was successful and below is my observations. I also included a close up of me shooting to see the trigger action. More importantly, I included video of a very talented gun smith explaining how to use the trigger. Keep in mind the videos where taken with a cell phone and posted by one of the guys at the gun shop where we did the testing.

Guns used was a 223 with oss suppressor which was the one in the video. We did add a rail guard halfway thru due to heat. We also shot the trigger in 300 blackout sbr with integral suppressor. Lastly, we shot the trigger in a 9mm carbine. The trigger was sub 400 serial number.

First observation was semi performs as expected from a quality trigger. The tac con mode does perform rapid fire as shown in the marketing videos from the company. The tac con mode does have a learning curve. To compare this to the slide fire, my experience is the slide fire is easier to learn and perform full mag dumps. With experience, I would expect the tac con mode can perform the same.

The tac con rate of fire on the ar platform both in 223 and 300blk performed the same. To compare to slide fire the rate of fire with tac con is slower, but again with experience this may be able to be increased.

Lastly, we installed the trigger in a 9mm carbine. This test did not go well. The rate of fire had increased to more than double of what was achieved previously. This we believe had caused a premature firing of the bullet before it was completely seated in the barrel. The result was dangerous and damaged my upper. I would recommend anyone planning to use this trigger outside of the typical ar lower, contact both tac con and the gun manufacture prior for guidance. I opted to not post the gun we used for this test as the failure could have been for a number of reasons.

My personal summary and opinion:
Tac con and slide fire have done a great job bringing a kinda-sorta machine gun to the those who like to play. Both products work completely different and have their place, again for those that like this type of fun.

I will be keeping my slide fire and look forward to receiving the tac con. Both will have a place in my collection of fun.

Now for the good stuff. Videos.

work for me.

Everyone is wondering how it works in the "third position", but my big question is: how is it in the standard semi-auto?  If the normal operation sucks, it's a deal breaker for me.  But I'll pay a premium for a very good semi-trigger with an added third position.

Quoted:
But how is the normal semi-auto trigger pull?  Does it feel like a genuinely quality trigger?  I'm interested in either this or a Geiselle - I want a quality standard trigger and I'm happy to pay more if it has this as an added bonus - but not if it sacrifices a smooth standard semi trigger.

snip The main draw for my with this trigger was that it was discreet and did not outwardly show there was any alteration to the rifle.

My opinion of the review is not to good, the video is way to sort and there is no review by the shooter after he fired.
The young man who explains how to shoot it is a bit confusing he's talking about  pulsate your finger on the trigger and then he sad something of the recoil will keep it going

And there is a the 9mm story that it was  premature firing before the bullet seated in the barrel.

Could this happen in a regular .223 BCG. I hope not.

Quoted:
They mentioned the 9mm running much faster which world support the idea that the trigger reset pushing into your finger in basically bump firing from trigger slap. If it was based on the pulsation of your finger then the ROF would rely on the shooter and wouldn't change caliber to caliber.
The new question I have is if the 9mm got bolt bounce or if the hammer filled it home and caused a slam fire.

I'm looking forward to getting my trigger from the perspective that the sights don't move back and forth like using the slidefire. I had planned to dedicate it to a 9mm integral I have

I am intrigued that so many here are being contacted by the company about their triggers being ready to ship and/or on the way. I somewhat impulsively decided to get in on the pre-order. I was one of those that got in before it was officially open. I managed to be order 42. I received notification via email from TacCon that my order had been accepted that night. Since then I have had exactly ZERO contact from the company. I personally am a little put off by this. How is it guys more than 100 orders down from me are being personally contacted about triggers being on the way? I don't know any of these people making the claims. And I am reluctant to call someone I do not know a liar, but I can not understand why they would be shipping out of order.

Since ordering I have been a little uneasy. I have to say that as more time passes and more videos are being posted I am not any more confident that I am going to like the product. I am not quite to the point of canceling my order, but I have been considering it more and more. Given everything about this trigger I think I would have been better off going with the Fostech stock instead. The main draw for my with this trigger was that it was discreet and did not outwardly show there was any alteration to the rifle.

I was not in the shop when he had the "Failure". But I would be willing to bet when Doug posted "typical", he meant 5.56/300blkout. I apologize for going off, just some comments pissed me off and yours was the last one I read ;) .
