    No, Buford, nothing wrong with your logic. Triggers are, after all, a personal choice. It's best folks use what trigger they like best, so long as it meets mission needs.

    I see no reason to subject a new shooter to a gritty, creepy, unpredictable trigger other than that they will appreciate a good trigger all the more.

    That doesn't mean I think a neophyte should be given a rifle or handgun with the trigger tuned to such a light pull that simply breathing on it will set it off.

    A smooth trigger with a predictable break at 7lbs is much preferred to a gritty, rough unpredictable trigger of 3lbs. I'd go so far as to say the latter trigger verges on being dangerous

    I agree. Knew a guy who decided to roll in the dirt with me while doing drills. Got all kinds of sand and dirt in his G17L's 3.5lb trigger. That bitch was a nightmare to shoot. I much prefer my polished-by-a-billion-dry-fires G21's 5.5lb glassy smooth pull.

    I run the one linked in my post... I prefer the TTU.

You can shoot very accurately with it and I also found it reset much faster for me when running drills that required fast follow up shots.

    On the other hand I have a buddy that rips an SSA faster than I personally would have thought possible on some of Lambs drills...

    I have certainly found triggers to be a highly personal thing, and I highly recommend that guys who are serious about choosing the right trigger, try as many as they can before buying if at all possible...


    No Ive not. My comments were more about the history of Gessele, and their current status of being used in quite a few military guns with great success. They also have extensive used with competition guys for a while. The TTU sounds like a good option for a single stage trigger, though, and hopefully they will work well over the long run. They just don't have the "record" Geissele does.

    Copy. I was hoping you had gotten a chance to try one out a bit and get your opinion on them.

    So far, so good, but only time and a lot of rounds will tell how well they will hold up in the long run. I have had good luck with Wilson parts in 1911's and I am hoping those experiences will transfer over to the TTU long term.

    I have been impressed to date...
