[ARCHIVED THREAD] - A400 trigger pull, do they all suck?

Posted: 5/16/2022 9:44:30 PM EDT

I know a shotgun trigger isn't a match rifle trigger, but the one in my A400 Upland sucks compared to my SX3s.

Is there something I can do beyond just learn to live with it?

For reference, my SX3 and I are a solid 75-81 pair on the sporting clays courses around me. I picked up this A400 and 70 would make me ecstatic. Even my 21" SLP MK1, an SX variant, gets me better scores.

What is wrong with the trigger?

The one in my A400 Xtreme was really nice. If I remember right it broke at about 4.5lb and felt really crisp.

Mushy, uneven pull.

Briley makes a match trigger but you have to send in your trigger group.

My 1301 comp pro trigger is good but I’m considering sending it in for 922r trigger parts.

I have on older one that is reasonably crisp.

I have an older A400 and the new plus. The older one had a better trigger.

That said I brought the newer one to a local gunsmith and he had no trouble fixing the trigger. I have no idea what he did but it was great.

I have two SX3’s and the trigger’s sucked but again I had them worked on and they are much lighter.

I’m not a gunsmith but obviously it’s easy to fix these triggers.
