These 3 Triggers Are TRASH

Duration: 0:58

This review critically examines three firearms with subpar triggers: the PSA Dagger's 'mushy' pull, the KelTec P3AT's heavy 10-15lb trigger, and the Steyr AUG's bullpup-induced long linkage. While acknowledging the Dagger's value and the P3AT's functionality for its class, the Steyr AUG's trigger is deemed the worst due to its design compromise. The video also briefly mentions gunsmithing programs.

Quick Summary

The Civilian Tactical video reviews three firearms with notably poor triggers: the PSA Dagger (mushy, indistinct wall), the KelTec P3AT (heavy 10-15 lb pull, 'solid mush'), and the Steyr AUG (compromised by bullpup design). The AUG's trigger is considered the worst due to its long linkage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three worst triggers discussed in the Civilian Tactical video?

The video identifies the triggers on the PSA Dagger, KelTec P3AT, and Steyr AUG as having significant issues. The Dagger's is described as 'mushy,' the P3AT's as very heavy (10-15 lbs), and the AUG's as compromised by its bullpup design.

Why is the Steyr AUG trigger considered the worst?

The Steyr AUG's trigger is deemed the worst due to its bullpup configuration. This design requires a long linkage bar running from the trigger to the rear action, which inherently sacrifices trigger quality for compactness.

What are the trigger characteristics of the PSA Dagger and KelTec P3AT?

The PSA Dagger has a 'mushy' trigger with no clear wall, though it remains functional. The KelTec P3AT is noted for its extremely heavy pull, estimated between 10 to 15 pounds, and a 'solid mush' feel before the break.

Does the PSA Dagger's trigger prevent it from being functional?

No, despite being described as 'mushy' with an indistinct wall, the PSA Dagger's trigger is still functional enough for practical purposes, such as hitting steel targets effectively at the range.
