Trigger thingy
« on: April 24, 2009, 02:38:38 PM »
I was hoping someone might be able to help.  At a recent show I saw a device that attached to the trigger and was supposed to reduce trigger pull by X.  I do not recall the name of the device and was wondering if anyone knew the name and/or tried one.

It's called an "auto-burst".  I've used them in a couple of guns.  It is not very accurate as you have to let the weapon move in recoil to allow this device to operate.  It utilizes a spring that presses on your trigger finger (which also mut be held loosely) and increases the frequency of the pulses on your finger to overcome the disconnector in you firing mechanism.  There also used to be a crank type mechanism that clamped onto the trigger guard and as you cranked it (ala gatling gun ) pressed repeatedly against the trigger. This was more accurate to shoot as you could aim the firearm and crank it.  It was however very cumpersome to use.
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.

Gee, almost as much as a real trigger job.  And a lot more creep, too.

Could it have been the old low tech trigger shoe? Gives you a wider surface area and can make trigger pull seem lighter.

I don't know - are they still around?  I've got a bunch of theirs and Williams I believe, packed away. I'll have to dig them out, they arn't doing me any good.
