Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms have the worst triggers according to Civilian Tactical?

Civilian Tactical identifies the PSA Dagger, KelTec P3AT, and Steyr AUG as firearms with triggers they consider to be of very poor quality, labeling them as 'trash' due to issues like mushiness, heavy pull, or design compromises inherent in bullpup configurations.

Why is the Steyr AUG trigger considered bad?

The Steyr AUG's trigger is criticized because its bullpup design requires a long mechanical linkage running from the trigger to the actual firing mechanism. This design choice prioritizes compactness but significantly sacrifices trigger quality, resulting in a poor feel.

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

The PSA Dagger's trigger is described as 'mushy' with no clear wall, though still functional. The KelTec P3AT has a very heavy trigger pull, estimated at 10-15 pounds, with a 'solid mush' feel before the break.

What is the significance of trigger quality in firearms?

Trigger quality is crucial for accuracy and shooting experience. A good trigger typically has a distinct wall, a crisp break, and a predictable reset, allowing for precise control. Poor triggers can hinder accuracy and make shooting less enjoyable.
