| What is the difference between single stage and a 2 stage trigger? What can you not use a 2 stage for? |
|
A two stage will have a spring loaded first stage that allows the trigger to travel under the springs tension. Then you hit the second stage and at this point additional pressure will not cause the trigger to move, unless there is a lot of "creap" in the trigger which is usually the case in stock AR-15 triggers. At some point with additional pressure the trigger breaks and the hammer drops. This trigger allows for a safer total pull weight while giving the impression of being much lighter to the shooter. It takes a little time to sense all the steps to break the shot however and requires more time, per shot to use to it's fullest potential. Think; squeeze through first stage, break, squeeze through first stage, break, squeeze through..... A single stage trigger has no first stage. You apply increasing amounts of pressure and the trigger should show no movement until finally with enough pressure it breaks. This trigger will feel like it has a heavier pull weight for the same breaking weight of a two stage. It is a faster trigger and well suited to timed matches or rapid firing scenarios. Think; Break, break, break,..... It's not like you can use one for this and not for that. It's more just a case of personnal preference. |
