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.

This video from TheYankeeMarshal provides an expert comparison between hammer-fired (DA/SA) and striker-fired handguns. The speaker, a firearms enthusiast with a large personal collection, details the trigger mechanics, safety features, and operational nuances of each system. The discussion highlights the trade-offs between trigger consistency and the safety/accuracy benefits of different trigger pulls for self-defense scenarios.
