The Elusive 10lb Mass Compliant Trigger

[Daniel MacDonald]

Just getting tired of replies to posts about 10lb Mass triggers. Far as I know, there is none, other than some double action revolvers. I know the laws in this insane state are hard to understand, but it is pretty simple to comprehend a manual safety, and or a 10lb trigger pull. I could be wrong, but I don't know of any recent gunmakers who thought it was a good idea to put the 10lb trigger on a gun as opposed to the manual safety.

Nobody thinks it is a good idea, however it’s easier to install a heavy spring than it is to redesign the pistol with a manual safety to accommodate a niche market.

Also I shot a S&w m&p with a 14 lb trigger... it sucked.

 

[slap shot]

easier to fix than an unwanted safety tho

My M&P9 came with a 10lb trigger, did it not?

 

[Al-Jim19]

I can’t think of a pistol other than the MnP that has a specific mass trigger.

But you can dodge all that by purchasing one that’s not busted from the factory.

I had mine fixed up by Tim Gostling, so the mushy piece of junk factory trigger is gone. Hallelujah!

I've never shot a semi auto with a 10lb trigger. Honestly didn't know someone made them...or, that someone bought them. Still lots of great guns available in this awful state, just not all of them. Most seem not to mind the safety on 1911's.....I will probably buy a p365 this year with a safety if the make the list.

Happens on the used market as well. I bought a gen 2 Glock G22 with the NY trigger spring in it. I can’t believe they think that is safer.

How about Smith being so scared of bacon hill they put a 10lb spring on safety guns.

It was my first gun. It's got a good trigger on it now and is a decent shooter. As for the 10 pound trigger, you can replicate the feeling by inserting a big lump of soggy diaper between your finger and a trigger that has a safety on. It's pretty crappy. How this makes a gun "safer" is completely beyond me. But anyway...

I put all my triggers on diets...

Does the Shield without safety have a Mass trigger?

 

[TomMontana]

Some of the non-Cajun CZ 75s and Sig P226s have DA trigger pull of at least 10lbs.

 

[bottle-cap]

Shields come with the heavy trigger. A lot of shops have made a lot of $$ selling and installing Apex triggers after selling Ma**h*** compliant Shields.

My M&P had an 18lb trigger before trigger job. It was an early model so not sure if they improved, but yeah it tested at 18lbs.

Someone posted not long ago that the 365 had been submitted for testing, so hopefully it will not be too long.

Might have been me....last time at Sig Store, they told me they had submitted for mass compliance.

I guessing then that you never shot a SW SD9VE or SD40VE. Their trigger pulls are probably in the 12 to 15 lb range or a little more.

1911 is kind of safety not optional

The safety in a 1911 is kind of a requirement.....you know......single action and hammer fired and all. M and p.....Glock......striker fired so the thumb safety is less of a "requirememt".......

Your Saying that people not minding a safety in a 1911 and comparing that to striker fired guns is making my head hurt.

Tell her we all said hello

If it wasn't 10, it was close to it.
I bought one of the 1st gen M&P's when they came out, 2008?
First shot was always a long pull and broke horribly.
The sigma's had the same setup.

 

[Boston4567]

I'm considering buying a M&P 2.0 9mm (full-size). I buy all my guns with safeties. Can anyone confirm that this gun comes with the crappy trigger despite the manual safety?

 

[enbloc]

10 lb trigger? Most new pistols sold in the Commonwealth register as "TILT" on my Lyman gauge that maxes out at "12" lbs...

 

[Chevy 2 65]

A heavy trigger pull is for the safety of everyone.

Yep. If need be, just double-up...

Right, two is better than one.




At least thats what she said.

 

[Prepper]

My SW M&P came with an insane 20 pound trigger pull. Greg Derr fixed it.

 

[radioman]

You can get rid of a 10 pound trigger but you can’t get rid of a manual safety.
At least easily.

My M&P now has a smooth as silk 3lb trigger and still no manual safety.
