Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'in-flight' trigger reset important?

'In-flight' reset allows the trigger to reset during the firearm's cycling action. This enables faster, more consistent follow-up shots by avoiding the slack introduced when 'pinning' the trigger to the rear, thereby maintaining sight alignment.
