[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Status Report: How are your Chip McCormick triggers holding up to long term heavy use???

Posted: 1/21/2006 9:01:48 PM EDT

I figure enough of the units are in use that a status check is in order.

How is your trigger pack holding up with regular/heavy use? Is it mataining its pull weight & reliability with a high round count? Are any issues manifesting themselves with time & use?

I know that they are good triggers out of the wrap, but how are they standing up to hard, real world use?

Thanks.

You do know that the CM triggers are currently out of production due to QC problems. From what I have been told, they should be available again in a few months. I didn't feel like waiting, and opted for a non-adjustable JARD.

FWIW I have not had any problems with mine but I only have a couple of hundred roungs through it.

Thanks for the updates. I was thinking about using one in the build I'm planning for when I get home from Iraq, but they have eight more months to iron the bugs out.

Great, I just ordered a large pin CM for my 6724 from Dawson Precision, and they said it will be put on backorder, but were expecting a shipment by the end of this month. Looks like I might have a longer wait then expected.

I've got 1800 rounds through mine in the past 2 days.

Single Stage Curved, and it's running great. It's holding up way better than expected.

I've got 8000 plus rounds through my CM trigger, I would doubt it would be QC problems, I'm hearing(in the industry) he cant make them fast enough for the market. Mine is the curved 2 stage.

I was told that the EDM shop that makes the parts for CM was having problems maintaining spec on the parts, which was causing problems with the assembled trigger group. I was told that CM was changing EDM shops, and that start-up was going to delay availability by a couple of months.

I'm not a member of "the industry", I'm just passing on the information I was given.

2 straight single stage -
2000 atleast through each not problems - they work perfectly.

If my current one holds up, I'll be ordering a few more Straight Single Stage trigger packs. That's what I wanted originally, but there weren't any available

You don't have to wait for Dawson, just check in with the guys at PK Tactical.

http://www.pkfirearms.com/store/start.aspx

They dont have the single staged curved but they have the straight trigger at phenomenol prices. Plus they offer a KNS anti walk pin upgrade. People shooting IPSC or three gun, Dawson is the giveaway, prefer the single stage straight trigger anyway, which they have in stock.

These are your guys. Cancel the Dawson Order, stick with them for IPSC pistols. I bought my McCormick for IPSCX Tac Class AR-15 made by Al Zitta - a ZM LR 300 Gas Trap Carbie, Leupold Mark 4 CQT on top with JP Quik site anglles mounted, once the trigger is in, I am ready to rock n roll.

Thanks,
