Do I need a New Trigger? If so, which one?
I had an interesting conversation with a friend who knows more about AR triggers than most people have forgotten.
My question to him was this:
"I'm frustrated with my "mil spec" trigger. During drills and courses, when shooting at speed, I intermittently fail to fully reset my trigger and it cocks up what would have been a really satisfying evolution or drill. So which trigger has a shortest reset? I need it!"
His response was basically this which surprised me, given his knowledge of AR triggers:
"Learn to operate the goddamn trigger that you have!
He commented that learning to fully reset a trigger:
1) Helps to mitigate issues of stress such as "scared shit-less, hurt, weak, tired, ill, sick, cold, hot, wet, muddy, dusty,
or under any kind of physical, medical or psychological pressure.
2. The real possibility that in some situations you may not be shooting your gun.
3. Shooting with gloves (I cannot emphasize enough the enormous difference that it makes).""
These are issues I guess I never really considered. But he makes a very good point. Would purchasing a "better" trigger just be a crutch for not learning how to properly operate my trigger? And would using a "better" trigger cause some real problems in the situations he described above.
If all the points above are baloney and I'm way off base here, which trigger should I buy to help with my issue? The fastest I've run a Vtac 2X2X2 drill is 1.64sec, which isn't blistering fast. And I keep thinking with a "faster" trigger I may be able to get that down below 1.5sec, which I'd be more than happy with. Maybe...
