G34shooter posted the link to our second video on the RAM in another thread, but I thought I would bring it up on a separate thread.
On the M&P pistol, the trigger return spring is a dual purpose spring. It serves to return the trigger to its forward position and applies lateral tension to the rear part of the trigger bar so that it can slip under the sear cam to prepare for the next shot. If the trigger return spring breaks, not only will the trigger stay to the rear, there is no longer any inward force acting on the trigger bar to position the trigger loop back under the sear cam even if you were able to move the trigger forward manually. The trigger bar would flop loosely from side to side. This means that the pistol would be rendered inoperative.
While trigger return springs rarely break, they do and have before. I do not know if anyone has discussed this topic previously.
One of the side benefits of the RAM system is that as long as you can manually advance the trigger forward, the trigger WILL reset under the sear cam and the gun will fire by pressing on the trigger.
Our new video demonstrates this feature, and I would like input as to whether all of this is hype on my part or could this feature possibly save a life?
