| Search on this site sucks ass, so question for other tactical guys out there... Opinions on good trigger weight for shooting on the move. Thinking about dropping in a Timney 3# or 4# but I want to get other peoples expirences with Reflexive Fire, House drills, patroling with such light triggers... Any info is welcome, If any one knows of a thread already talking about this, please send link! |

Acouple of weeks ago I called M&A parts and ordered standard single stage trigger groups for my 3 M-4's.
I got rid of 2 two stage and a 3lb single stage. Nice light triggers and perfect for a scoped target gun. But on a Run and Gun set up like my M-4's the plain old standard G.I. trigger is the way to go. It should be about a 5-6 lb pull and is far more Bullet Proof than the lighter ones. I also hear they get better as the gun gets alot of rounds through them. |

People get absolutely absurd about triggers, especially on ARs, but the reality is that most of the aftermarket trigger systems out there suck balls in the reliability and durability department. If you have a decent carbine (like a 6920) leave the stock trigger setup alone. A 3 pound trigger is just a crutch waiting to happen. The time and money spent on a 3 pound trigger would be better spent developing trigger control. That's really what people suffer with when shooting on the move. They have a bad habit of snatching the unholy bejeezus out of the trigger because their form sucks and they're trying to make the gun go boom NOW when the dot is in the right place. That leads to snatching the trigger, which leads to a miss. Learning to live with your "wobble zone" and to execute a proper trigger press will benefit those who want to improve their ability to shoot on the move FAR more than a gamer trigger. |

stock triggers are fine unless you're trying to squeeze super-accurate shots out to 300m+ Run n Gun, Clearing, tac. classes... stock trigger is fine. I'll take a bulletproof stock trigger over a 'dainty' light weight anyday... unless its on my LR setup... in which a Geis SSA now resides... |
| I find that folks who fixate on there trigger pull weight, have more to worry about then engaging bad guys....The professionals I have had the privilege of running with would never be running around with light triggers.. there is no need for a light trigger in the CQB arena..period. |
