If one of you likes to INVENT things, namely triggers…

Watching some stuff on striker-fired handguns, even though I prefer exposed-hammer ones.

They all seem to have something similar to the Glock or even Savage rifle trigger, and that there is a central blade that basically doesn’t do any mechanical function per se, that serves as a ‘first’ part of the trigger that needs to be pushed so that the rest of the trigger can then be pushed, which does all the work with pre-travel, the wall, and firing. That means the regular/second portion of the trigger has a lot of work to do, and from what I understand in the guns that copy the Glock design, the ‘second’ trigger also does the final tensioning of the striker/firing pin spring.

It seems like it would make more sense, if you’re going to have what essentially amounts to two separate triggers, to put all the work of free travel and tensioning on the first one to get pulled, along with the relatively trivial force needed to disengage the trigger safety. Then have the second portion of the trigger that your finger hits have its only task to be to fire the gun by disengaging from the sear.

Doing that with a trigger pull that would feel better than the current ones instead of worse, would mean making the wider part of the trigger, still be the part that does the hard work, but there is no reason the wide part of the trigger could not have a slot in the middle, like they currently have, only the narrow part would be behind the trigger at rest instead of in front of it, With your finger only hitting it once all of the other trigger pull tasks have been complete completed.

Just a thought, but those are the kind of things I think about when I’m in the deer stand and there’s no movement.
