This video explores the nuances of handgun trigger types and weights for everyday carry (EDC). The speaker, TheYankeeMarshal, advocates for Double-Action/Single-Action (DA/SA) hammer-fired firearms due to their inherent safety features, particularly the heavier initial DA pull. He suggests ideal trigger weights for DA/SA pistols are around 8-10 lbs for the double-action pull and 3-5 lbs for the single-action pull. For striker-fired or DAO triggers, he finds 8-10 lbs acceptable for carry, emphasizing that trigger smoothness and user familiarity are crucial, especially under stress.
