Smyth Busters: Is a Light Trigger Always Better?
This video debunks the myth that a lighter trigger pull is always superior. Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant explain that while lighter triggers can improve accuracy in controlled environments, they are not ideal for high-stress situations like personal defense or law enforcement use, where an accidental discharge could be dangerous. They also touch on hunting rifles and competitive shooting, suggesting that a heavier trigger can be beneficial in certain applications. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding your specific firearm's trigger through dry fire practice.
