A Better Trigger Doesn't Make You a Better Shooter

This video emphasizes that firearm accuracy is primarily a function of the shooter, not just the equipment. While upgrades like a "bougie" trigger don't automatically make you a better shot, a quality trigger can enhance performance by providing a crisper, lighter break, aiding in more precise shots. Shooter preference dictates the choice between single-stage and two-stage triggers, with both having their merits.

This video explains that while a "bougie" or upgraded trigger doesn't automatically make a firearm more accurate, it can significantly improve a shooter's ability to shoot the firearm better. The key is that the shooter must already possess fundamental shooting skills. A crisper, lighter trigger break can lead to increased accuracy if the shooter is performing the correct actions, but improper trigger manipulation (like "yanking") will negate any benefits.
