First, the manufacturer says that the product is for gaming, not duty. They know a thing or two about making duty triggers, since they make officially adopted duty triggers. I don’t know why they state that, but generally it’s more than just the perceived weight of trigger pull that negates a trigger’s worthiness for duty.
The following has nothing to do with the specifics of this named trigger, but rather triggers in general and observations about triggers. Since the trigger is made for 3gun, which necessitates dumping a loaded gun frequently, it probably is not the drop worthiness of the sear surface; it could be the force of the hammer spring, which may not ignite the notoriously hard primers used in some duty ammo. You don’t just wave the name wand over a trigger and it’s lighter because you call it lighter. Springs and surfaces have to be altered to give the lighter feel. Something has to give, and ability to ignite hard primers is often one of those things, generally.
Second, if people are having rounds launch unintentionally into the dirt in front of them, there is a problem with application of basic gun safety. I feel like I’ve heard one of those basic principles state that you don’t put your finger on the trigger until you’re ready to engage your target. Moving the gun from low ready or some other position to target is not “ready.” You’re in the process of making ready. “Ready” means that you’ve moved your sights to your desired impact point and you’re stable enough that pressing the trigger won’t disturb your sight picture. It sounds like there are some folks who are being sloppy in an attempt to be fast. No amount of speed gained is worth sloppy and unsafe gun handling. The really fast shooters are not doing things in an unsafe manner, they’re just faster.
