I explained at this link why you do not want a light trigger on a defense gun (and also why, for example, you want that home defense AR-15 stock mil-spec ‘stiff and gritty’ trigger) > https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/2024/03/21/back-in-black-the-murdered-out-springfield-emissary/comment-page-1/#comment-1007

And while the actual feel and performance of those triggers varies, the bottom line is that they’re typically stiff and gritty. Installing a cassette-style aftermarket drop-in trigger is easy and it’s a sure way to improve your accuracy.”

And while that is true, its easy to make it a lot less so with a shoe lace or a piece of para-cord and five minutes and some trigger pulls and end up with a trigger that rivals in feel to a lot of drop in triggers touted to be the ‘best thing since sliced bread’.

And believe me, on a defense gun you do not want a, say, 3 lb trigger pull in an actual defense incident and if actual defense you will never notice the nerdish things about triggers like travel or creep or break point or pull weight and during the defense incident and when its over and you calm down and reflect on you and/or family still being alive no matter how much the gun cost or the trigger ‘stiff and gritty’ or not a sleek-n-latest-n-greatest it will be the best gun that has ever existed.
