Which tigger system do you like in a semi auto?

[el Godfather]

Dear THR,
Which trigger system do you guys like? For example: CZ's Omega, Sig Sauer's SRT, Glock's lightening trigger with 3.5lbs connector, USP match, or such. I personally perfer the SRT in Sig Sauer. I like its reduced reset and zero take up on follow up shots.

Thanks

Depends on the gun's intended use. There are as many answers as there are systems.

I tried the 3.5 connector in my 23 and 27, honestly I liked the stock 5.5 better. It had a little more defined break and reset. That's the thing, the trigger weight on a Glock isn't the same as the connector's rating, but the connector does influence how much hard the trigger has in it at those two points.

I really like the Glock triggers, and I started to gravitate towards a good DAO-style of trigger over the years. The variable pulls of a traditional double action just aren't exactly what I want out of a gun.

I prefer a single action, for a carry gun a nice crisp 4.5 pounds or so, 2.5 pounds for a target pistol. The EAA Witness Elite (Tanfoglio) single action models have the best factory trigger I have experience with.

Bullseye type shooting - SA / 1911

IDPA - Glock...nothing fancy, just well worn with 3000+ rounds (gives the same result as a 3.5 lb connector) Keep your ny1 springs, I hate the resulting feel. I don't care for the lightning trigger, I'd rather spend that money on ammo because the end result isn't worth it to me. When shooting at speed, I can't tell much of a difference. Slow fire or dry fire, yeah...but at speed a well worn stock setup feels just fine.

Plinking, shooting for fun - Any trigger will do, I'm not picky.

Regardless of what type trigger it is ... I really like having the same pull every time.

I'm very much partial to the 3.5 lb SAO trigger in my Wilson Combat CQB.

 

[NOLAEMT]

I'm very fond of the trigger on my 1911's for carry and at the range.

S&W M&P with the Apex trigger kit.

Deep concealment/BUG? DAO or Striker
Regular concealment? DA/SA or Striker
Competition? SAO
Service pistol? DA/SA or Striker


As you can see, DA/SA or Striker wins for me.

Dae-Woo's triple action is pretty neat. I like the way they allow you to push the hammer forward with the gun on safe and then have it snap back for a single action pull when you take the safety off. I just love a good SA/DA with an exposed hammer, though I do own a 1911 and a SA revolver.
I don't like or trust any of the "safe action" type trigger systems that come on Glocks, S&W's, Springfield's, etc.

I agree. I prefer SA with thumb safety (FN Hipower or CZ 75B) or DAO (Glock 19, Walther PPS or S&W 442.) I know that a lot of folks like DA/SA trigger systems, but they just don't work for me.

Thankfully, we live in a country where we have LOTS of options.

1911.

 

[aluminator]

I've tried most of the trigger connectors available for the Glock and I like the V4 Race connector best.In my Gen 4 G17 I have a Lone Wolf comp. spring kit,V4 race connector,Yager lightweight striker and a .25 trigger job.I have over 2100 flawless rounds on this setup without a failure.It's a 1.8# trigger pull.It's the lightest and crispest combo I've tried in a Glock.It also has a short,discernable reset.
It's my favorite trigger of all my handguns.604415[/ATTACH]"]http://

 

[MisterNoisy]

1911, by far. Even the cheap ones have pretty good triggers in my experience.

 

[1SOW]

For "just trigger", 1911-type going away.
"Others" can almost be as good.
The CZ 75 with no FPI and reduced/worked to 4.5 DA#--2# SA with disconnector work to shorten the reset. VERY steel-gun nice.

IF the first shot has to count, make mine cocked 'n' locked!

I ave tried quite a few too, the best I have found is the Ghost Rocket with a "DS" cut on the overtravel stop.
For $15 I think I'll give that V4 connector a try just for the heck of it.

The finest factory stock semi auto trigger was in the S&W Model 52. In current production the S&W945PC has an outstanding factory trigger somewhat better than their 952PC. In 1911's the best factory triggers come with the Dan Wesson line.

Depends on the gun's use. I like SA in .22s for hunting or plinking. I like DA/SA or DAO for carry. My reason for DA or DAO for carry guns is that they comply with my Revolvers which I WON'T give up carrying, at least with the first shot. I firmly believe that if you carry a single action condition one, that's the ONLY thing you should carry and do serious defensive practice with. But, I just won't give up my revolvers.

I do NOT like safe action. Mostly I pocket carry in a soft pocket holster. I like a long, heavy DA pull on a pocket auto. My fave carry is still my Kel Tec P11, little square revolver. People who can't shoot prefer SA.

 

[Redneck with a 40]

I like striker fired guns, just rack the slide and shoot it. I also like the smooth, consistent trigger pull shot to shot. My XD-40 and SR9-C have outstanding factory triggers.

 

[rhodco]

I like consistent feel on each shot. 1911 S/A would be great if I could trust myself to remember to flick the safety off under stress... but I don't, so I carry striker fired Glock or the new Walther PPQ. Next best thing.

For a high performance "race gun"-whatever Knighthawk Customs does to their SA is AMAZING! For a duty/carry/ everything else I like the classic DA/SA from Sig or Beretta (after a decent spring, sear and trigger tune-up on the Italian). A well tuned DA pull is completely effective in SD and emiminates the need for a manual safety, and the ability to thumb to a SA for a "surgical" shot is a nice feature. Some will lament about the transition from DA to SA, I just tell them to go train more. It seems to work for the SEALs with their SIGs, and they are pretty good shots.

 

[SouthernBoy]

The Apex USB (Ultimate Safety Block) and hard sear combine to produce a truly superb trigger on the Smith and Wesson M&P pistol. The letoff is crisp and with no creep and the over travel and pre-travel are both reduced.

Trigger

I have an "Italian Made" Tanfoglio Forve Carry that has a very nice SA trigger. DA is fine, but nothing spectacular.

However I recently made the purchase of a LEO trade in, State Police pistol. This gun is a Sig 2340, .40 cal., has made in "Switzerland" stamped on the frame.

Absolutely the lightest DA/SA I think I have ever felt. Possibly has had some trigger work done on it by the State Armorer. I do not know. Maybe this line just had really, really nice triggers, or I just got lucky (though that would be an extreme rarity)

I am just guessing here, so bear with me. DA appears to be about 7-8 lbs.
SA is maybe 3.5, but probably closer to 3lbs. No creep, or grit at all. Tiny bit of slack in SA. Maybe this pistol did have some armorer work done on it.
