How does the Franklin Armory trigger perform in the HK's?  I've seen videos online and it looks like many people can't run them well or perhaps it's the trigger design itself.

Taken my new AP5-P out twice now and the existing trigger isn't bad at all. Not great, but not terrible. Little heavy with take up but not gritty. I find myself not even noticing the trigger when shooting.

I have a FA binary in my Scorpion and it can be clunky at times but still fun.

Obviously these are range toys for me not PDW's.  ETA: I reload so burning through ammo isn't a concern.

I've got one in my AP5-k and it runs great for me. I have a ton of shooting fast triggers from paintball for 30 years and find it trivial to ride the break and dump rounds in short or long bursts. A little practice and I think anyone could.

I have a binary in my PTR 9 and absolutely love it.  The standard semi auto is superior to the factory, and the binary is fun.  Never had a single malfunction in untold hundreds of rounds.

I wore one out after 10k rounds and years past the warranty. Franklin hooked it up and rebuilt it free of charge. Super fun and would recommend.

I don't regret spending the money on my SP5. It took me a bit to run it hard and fast but, I love it. Hope you reload

I've got one in my AP5 & one in my AP5-P.  Haven't over run them yet.  They seem to work great in these platforms.

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like a good Christmas present for me.

Dumb question. Does it work okay with OEM grip from MKE?

I tried mine for the first time yesterday, briefly.

Wasn't nearly as rapid as I had anticipated.

Might just need practice.

ETA>  MKE, but with POF grip

Gunny, can you re-post your reply?  Never saw it as I was transfixed by you Avitar.

I recently installed one in my SD but haven't run it yet. I did put one in a .22 AR that is very fun though I can easily outrun it.

From what i have seen, it's all about finding a rhythm that works.

If you can do that, i doubt you will have an issue.

I also heard that these things run really well in the MP5 platform because of how fast they cycle.

I assume them also having that powdered tungsten in the carriers to prevent bolt bounce would help as well.

I haven't yet run a binary, however i don't have an issue getting near FA rates with just my finger.

I just run it as fast as my mouth

I found with the mp5, doing a 3 round finger burst is smooth and easy to hold on target.

So I'm assuming that I'll need to start slow and speed up until i find a "happy place".


I will say, even if i hate it.
The binary trigger for the mp5 has a wonderful break.
It's pretty much just an AR trigger with an mp5 looking hammer and trigger profile.

Super easy to work with compared to the stock trigger!

That alone makes it worthwhile IMO.

And it seemed to work great with the mke grip, the molding in the lower actually fit it and held it in place nice and solid.

The usa made pitogram lower i used took some work!
