This video provides a comprehensive overview of various handgun trigger types, explaining their mechanics and user experience. It covers single-action revolvers, double-action revolvers, the 1911's single-action trigger, double-action/single-action (DA/SA) hammer-fired pistols, striker-fired systems like Glock, and newer designs like the Daniel Defense H9. The discussion highlights differences in pull weight, travel, and safety mechanisms, emphasizing personal preference in trigger selection.

This episode emphasizes that trigger pull is the most critical aspect of shooting, often overlooked by untrained individuals. Instructors Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington detail how to achieve a smooth trigger press, distinguishing it from 'trigger jerking.' They advocate for slow, deliberate practice, dry-firing, and using tools like lasers to diagnose and correct issues, stressing that mastering trigger control is fundamental to accurate shooting with any firearm.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of various firearm trigger types, explaining their mechanics and common characteristics. It covers single-action, double-action, double-action/single-action (DA/SA), and striker-fired triggers, using examples like revolvers, 1911s, Glocks, and newer designs like the Daniel Defense H9. The discussion highlights the subjective nature of trigger preference and introduces concepts like trigger creep and safeties.

This podcast episode features discussions on firearm comparisons, specifically the Smith & Wesson 686 versus the Colt Python, with a focus on trigger quality and aesthetics. The host also touches on specialized ammunition like vampire defense rounds and the utility of laser grips versus red dot sights for training. Legal and regulatory topics, such as the ATF's frame and receiver rule, are briefly mentioned.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of various handgun trigger types, explaining their mechanics and common characteristics. It covers single-action revolvers, double-action revolvers, the 1911's single-action trigger, double-action/single-action semi-autos, striker-fired systems like Glock, and newer designs like the Daniel Defense H9. The discussion highlights personal preference in trigger feel, the concepts of trigger creep and takeup, and the function of trigger safeties.

This video discusses the place of revolvers in a firearm collection, with the speaker expressing a positive sentiment towards them. The speaker demonstrates a specific technique for engaging the trigger on a revolver, highlighting the "bump and then fire" feel.

This live chat covers a range of firearms-related topics, including caliber comparisons, handgun modifications, and self-defense considerations. The speaker, identified as The Yankee Marshal, offers insights into the effectiveness of .40 S&W versus 9mm, discusses modifying revolver triggers, and advises against using machetes for self-defense. He also touches on body armor, concealed carry, and the legal implications of self-defense scenarios. The discussion highlights practical advice for firearm owners and enthusiasts.

The video features a discussion and demonstration of the trigger mechanism on a Chiappa Rhino revolver. The speaker, identified as The Yankee Marshal, measures the double-action trigger pull at approximately 7.5 pounds and the single-action trigger pull at around 2 pounds. He notes a smooth break with a slight take-up in double-action and very little movement in single-action, deeming the trigger performance satisfactory.

This video explains the concept of 'staging' a revolver trigger, a technique used to achieve a lighter, single-action-like pull without manually cocking the hammer. It involves pulling the trigger to the point where the cylinder rotates and the hammer is cocked but not released, allowing for a more precise shot. The instructor emphasizes that staging is primarily for range practice and accuracy, not recommended for self-defense scenarios where a full double-action pull or manual hammer cocking is preferred.

Ernest Langden, a recognized expert in DA/SA firearms, explains how to effectively manipulate double-action triggers. He emphasizes a continuous, rolling press rather than a single-action-like hammer pull or a problematic 'staging' technique. Langden advises maintaining sight alignment throughout the pull and using dry fire to optimize finger placement for a smooth, accurate shot, noting this method can improve speed and accuracy.

This video provides a range review of the Charter Arms Pathfinder revolver in .22LR. The reviewer, operating as Cranky Gun Reviews, details his experience shooting approximately 130 rounds through the firearm. He discusses trigger feel in both single and double-action modes, the gun's reliability after initial break-in, and its performance with Federal Automatch and Aguila ammunition. The reviewer, identifying as a firearms enthusiast rather than a marksman, shares his personal shooting impressions and accuracy at various distances.

This video explains the fundamental differences between double-action and single-action firearm mechanisms, focusing on the number of jobs the trigger performs. It details how double-action triggers perform both cocking and releasing the hammer, resulting in a longer and heavier pull, while single-action triggers only release a pre-cocked hammer, offering a shorter and lighter pull. The explanation extends to striker-fired firearms, clarifying the 'double-action only' classification.
