Yeah it’s a great forum for info. I learned about the DIP trigger from there.
And on Arrowdodger’s trigger.....
Please be extra careful if you carry that gun hunting or with a youth, if it has the 1.4 lb pull...
I saw that trigger job talked of a lot, but, imho, less than 3lb. is too light for a hunting gun!
No matter how careful you are,... there will be that (one time) you forget, didn’t get it fully unloaded, left one chambered, or a child swings it past you in excitement after hitting a target! It happens....
In those very few but dangerous moments, its the safety and the proper functionality of the trigger that can save tragedy...
And, yes I’d do a 3-4lb reduction maybe, but MOST guns, shotguns, rifles, pistols, etc., are more like 4-8 lbs. If you don’t do all the triggers on all the guns you hunt with, then that 3lb one really takes some getting used to, and a 1lb. one would be downright diabolical, coming from heavy triggers. I’ve seen guys fire unintentionally into the sky with those brand new 2lbs triggers on AR’s. Old flintlocks had “set” triggers to try and solve this very problem.
Falling in the field is another thing. No matter how safe you are, you’ll fall one day, or the gun will hit ground crossing a fence or something. It happens. So be extra careful with those Arrowdodger triggers.
