"your firearms are useless if you're a fat piece of crap".... as a former fat guy, I couldn't agree more!
I see you say former so I say good job!
Ive seen some fat guys run 1000yards in record time.. jump a 7ft fence.. haul their lard ass up a steep hill.. then get down in the prone position.. and shoot a sub MOA 5 shot group @100yrds -
Ive also seen some good for nuthin' skinny scrawny stringbean dudes who cant run.. cant climb a fence.. and who cant shoot for shit.
Im just sayin'..
As a current fatty I also agree...
🤣👌
I absolutely love his no BS, truth hurts approach.
100 years later: A wize man once said your weapons won't be useful to you if your a fat piece of crap.
Absolutely love it!
Ive seen some really fat guys massacre moving, living targets. Good luck not getting shot by a fatty.
Wize???😂

Hahah wise
For the budget conscious;
Just bought a Larue MBT-2S for $115 to the door. For the price, it's hard to beat. At any price, its as good as my Knight's two stage. The SSA-E is slightly lighter and shorter. But I put the heavier spring in the Larue anyways to try it out. And I kind of like it for a general purpose carbine. First stage is more deliberate, break feels the same, pushier reset. But i bought it for a 20" fluted stainless build, so I'll probably run the light spring.
The MBT-2S is a fantastic trigger, absolutely love it.
LaRue I think is the best middle ground trigger in terms of price, I’m really pissed they went from like $90 to $115 but if you really wanna save about $30 and can’t justify spending $115 on a trigger the Schmid 2 stage is great
@@TheHashtagSquad2K15 I ordered off their website and paid $80 in June 2020. Bidenomics wrecked everything.
It’s exactly why Larue Tactical doesn’t ship to California anymore. Peabrain Democrats make life worse and blame others for their mistakes.
I prefer the Larue over the Geissele. I have 5 Larues now and I'm down to one Geissele national match
@@JackManiacky I do too just simply for the price. I do think the SSA-E is a better trigger but it’s like splitting hairs to the point that whatever marginal difference there is isn’t worthy of the huge step up in price.
Appreciate the straight forward, honest, and unapologetic content! Stoked to hear you're competing in TTG this year. Good luck, hope to see you out there man.
Man, I love when you call out the fat bodies. I agree and crisp lighter trigger makes a huge difference. When I started shooting as a kid, I upgraded to an Anschutz free rifle for 3 position shooting. That trigger is a game changer.
Anschutz spoiled me on triggers.
As a fatty I agree we should be called out, but also broke ass people should be called out as well. You can earn money just as easily as losing weight, no reason any guy should be earning less than 100k
@@randyreviewsityep 100k is the new 60k. I made 97 last year and barely felt like it at all. Felt more like 40
@@RRC6490 I am mostly going after the hypocrisy, lots of guys will call out us fattys, but meanwhile they are making less than 100k and have to have their wife working to make ends meet. For me both things are hard, when people say just eat less and go to the gym. I say to them, just get another job and work more. Two sides of the coin, both are hard chadd and some of his guys try to pretend like one is easy but not the other.
I'm 52 and the same weight as I was 23 years ago when I was in the academy and I'm good well over 100k. LOL@@randyreviewsit
I feel the numba 1 upgrade is the one using it. Training goes a long ways.
I agree. Better to have a trained person with an old musket than a rookie with a modern firearm imo.
Well said!
That’s not an upgrade.
@@Spartan-Of-Truth of course it is , if you can't carry your weapon into battle you are useless and so is your tool. If you don't know how to use a tool it is useless. I am the actual weapon the tool is useless without me. Upgrade yourself the tool becomes more effective.
@@IronSharpensIron127 No, trust me because I’m drinking coffee right now.
I would have to agree with Chadd on this topic the trigger is always my first upgrade and I will spend as much as needed to get the very best trigger available , I just put a ALG trigger in my ZPAP/ M-70 and it is now a completely different rifle a complete novice 15 year old Girl accompanied myself and Granddaughter to the range last week and after all the safety lectures , I gave her a minute to watch my granddaughter warm up the rifle and just get familiar with the function of a AKM and once she found out that she was left eye dominant , I gave the run down on operation of the rifle and she shot outstanding for a complete newbie after realizing that she was crowding the scope and deciding how to hold the rifle with the support hand that fit her best she was grouping very well , the trigger made a huge difference as the break is so clean , I wouldn't let her touch the trigger until fully sighted on target , coached her breathing and said slide the trigger finger in and slowly squeeze on exhale , it was very rewarding to watch a Day One Novice smile at her target when finished !
Absolutely correct. The number one change you need to make on any AR is the trigger. I have a bunch of AR's and all have Giessele triggers. SSA, SSA-E, SD and SD-E. Outstanding triggers.
Flashlight and red dot. Fancy trigger not necessary. Have fun defending your family in the dark.
SSA-E 👍 for me .
I have a springfield saint and the trigger is good. Put a heavy barrel in it after going to the range. Got hot fast on light barrel .
Typically Outstanding Training Video. Takes me back a few years. Thanks for that quick return down memory lane, and for your videos that are always 110% Spot On in All Aspects.
Chad I looked back and saw this video, because the title reference interested me. However, your segment about the protein and being in shape along with proficiency is on point. You are brutal and to the point, many thanks for keeping it real!
Hello Chad , just want to say thank you for your inspiration.
Since I discovered your Chanel I try to change my mindset in several daily & training routines . I am 48 yo , in service since 30 years in German federal police …. I was „ stuck „ in my own cosmos , don’t looking left or right .
You open my eyes for new & different stuff again .
Thank you Chad 🙌🏼
This is my answer before I heard yours. Modify yourself to be a better shooter by practice and training.
"If you're a fat piece of crap," it's 7 a.m., and I haven't even got my coffee yet. 😂😂😂 it's about to be a great day!!
Wheres good and bad at?
Sleeping late?
Completely agree. I went with a brigade single stage flat trigger, about 3.5 pound pull near instant reset, took it to the range and smiled constantly for over a week. Incredible difference
You completely agree? With the trigger being the 1st upgrade or a good upgrade. Take off the sights and see how good a crisp trigger is without sights for a rifle.
@@elche1976 If you actually listened in the first part of the video he very clearly addressed that subject so either you skimmed through the video, only read the comments without watching any of the video or your "special".
@@elche1976This.
I have rifles with stock triggers, I have rifles with upgraded triggers.
There isn’t much difference in performance.
The best upgrade is a quality optic, period.
@phillhuddleston9445 I watched and he said several times the First is the trigger. Repeatedly, the number 1 thing is the trigger he said. No, it's not. Thanks for playing.
Edit - and it is you're* special. If you are going to try and lecture someone, do it right. It helps appear less low iq and thin skinned. You may resume being triggered, beta.
@phillhuddleston9445 I'll even toss this out. You take a rifle bare boned and I'll take the same rifle.... I'll shoot it with the upgraded optic and you shoot it with the upgraded trigger.l and no optic. You can have an opinion, but it definitely doesn't mean it's right. In this case, it's certifiably incorrect.
I can say also as being a bass guitar player from the age of 12, it definitely helped when I picked up a gun. Having manual dexterity, and being able to move your finger independently helped me greatly.
I couldn’t agree more. That’s the very first thing I change on all my guns. Great advice and video here.
Chad, right-on brother! I have modified and improved the triggers on every firearm I own (except for my expensive Italian over/under sporting shotgun). You are 100% correct in your analysis of the reason for inaccuracy. The hand is a complicated piece of machinery with some fairly strong muscles involved. When shooting a rifle from a rest, bipod or barricade I have learned to remove my powerful thumb from the opposite side of the grip and place it on the top of the stock or next to the trigger finger to eliminate the tendency to tighten grip. Works every time.
Most people hold their rifles and hand guns wrong, crappy triggers still shoot straight. Your shooting hand should be doing about 20% of the work holding your firearm, your support hand should be doing the bulk of supporting the firearm. That full engagement of your shooting hand actually hinders the actuation of the trigger finger.
KAABER GOD ALMIGHTY--🙏😊
Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊
God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok❤
Chadd you’ve been a massive inspiration to me. Thanks for all the content. Hope yall continue the Origin Series one of these days. Stay blessed
I have been shooting since age 7 and now I’m 60. When I joined the USMC in 1984 we didn’t have anything but iron sights which was fine with me. 5th award rifle expert, 5 award pistol expert for the 5 years I was in. I may be a little heavier than I was in “The Suck” but I can still pick up a weapon and be on target at 500 meters, with iron sights. BRASS breath, relax, aim, sight and squeeze the trigger. This has worked for me for the past 50 plus years. ACOGS are great until they fail. Always have a back up set of sights you can use if you have to.
Just curious, how do you invision an acog failing?
Amazing in 1984 they wouldn’t take me because of too much debt.
@@johnqpublic2718
I wondered the same.
Other than breaking the glass .
Battery.
Battery dies or red dot fails to illuminate. All I’m saying is that you should train to use iron sights and be proficient in wind age and elevation adjustments.
While it is common knowledge to most shooters (or at least it should be) that you never want to place your finger on a trigger until you’re ready to send a projectile down range, that motto reigns especially true when you’re weapon is setup with such a sensitive trigger as this. You would not want to get kicked off the range for inadvertently sending one off.
Agree w you 100% every AR build i do i always go w a geissele super dynamic 3 gun trigger single stage
The first modification I make to any rifle is to sell it and buy an LMT. The second modification I always make is swapping the trigger out for a Geissele SSA.
Giesselle all way 👍
I wouldn’t give Geissele a dime of my money due to their overpriced BS products and poor business ethics!!!
Brand loyalty is not being prepared.
@@lift4funLaRue triggers half the price and better quality
@@captnmarkAnd not cast potmetal.
Full on! Thank you for your professional advice.
The number one upgrade anyone can make to a firearm is to tighten up the nut behind the trigger. Get TRAINED! You can never miss fast enough.
Agreed....Giessele SSA-E was my choice. There are many choices that are huge game changers.I might add that the Blackout defense zero is an awesome trigger as well.
My Daniel Defense MK12 came with a Geissele SSA trigger, soon ordered the SSA for other AR15's and SSA-E for 6.5 AR10. Nice triggers
Definitely agree on the trigger as being the most important upgrade on an AR style rifle.
I always install the Geissele SD-E trigger on mine which is a flat bow version of the Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E).
Great video & great shooting advice Sir !
Thank you for your service man!
Great channel man. Thank you for your service
CMC makes a good drop in trigger. God bless you’all and enjoy the weekend.
Yes they do. I love love the 2.5 trigger they make.
Especially for the money, I don't think they can be beat. But what do I know? I'm not super picky about triggers as long as their clean & crisp without a lot of travel I'm pretty happy. I have the 4.5 duty and the 3.5, love them both.
Agreed
Hey Good Chad!
Great video as usual. Keep up the good work you and Chilly are poppin! God Bless ya Brother! Semper Fi🤙🏻🍻🏴☠️🇺🇸
Hell ya, this video helped alot. Answered a few questions I've had recently thank ya my dude
The first improvement was a trigger. I installed a CMC trigger. Then, the fore end hand guard, charging handle extension, ambidextrous safety selector, tactical scope, atlas bipod, I started with a 20” 1-7 twist heavy match grade barrel. The final as edition was a stock.
trigger or optic would be my first guesses; lighter trigger means less chance of gun moving during firing after aiming, good optic increases the chances of good aiming.
⚡️ I can't stand sloppy triggers long pulls and or resets awesome video
So true, that suggestion I realized over 25 years ago with my black powder rifle. Worked over all my pew pews since that day.
I was an EST (now Tactical Response Force) guy in Security Forces and a competitive shooter. Your material is always spot on brother and I have recommended your channel to help others get up to speed. Much appreciated.
I agree with you bud.
Over the last 18 months I’ve taken just under 100 lbs off, and am working on taking off another 25 lbs. I am wanting to be at a cool comfortable 180.
The upcoming struggle is going to be hard on everyone, and the last thing I want to be struggling with while struggling to survive this BS is fat.
brother, if SHTF an extra 25 lbs might be a good thing. Good for you on the loss, congratulations. I have lost 40 myself with 40 more go.
@@Matt-uj9wlno doubt, it's stored energy.
I guess I never thought of triggers as a first upgrade because my guns have come with pretty nice triggers from the factory already. For my pistol, the first thing I upgraded was the grips. After that came the light, then the cool guy stuff like the optic cut slide and the dot. For my rifle, it came with a nice 2 stage trigger that breaks at ~4 lbs and resets quickly. All the visible upgrades for it have been bolt-ons. Optics, light, bipod the usual stuff. The biggest invisible upgrades for it have been stuff to increase reliability. Flat wire buffer spring, H2 buffer, Sons of Liberty BCG, and a handful of spare parts for common wear items like gas rings, springs, retainer pins, etc.
Great presentation, makes a lot of sense! Always kept all my guns stock, but maybe I should change that.
Yes sir. I agree 100%. A Timmny trigger change in my Glock 19 made all the difference, especially at age 79 with arthritis.
Just got my FIRST AR. Being totally open and vulnerable here, as a Marine that used the M16-A2, I am LOST with this weapon and its capabilities. Here to learn, grow, and train hard.
Same gun just semi with less parts. Get a piston kit
@@congerthomas1812 thank you. I'll start looking at them now. Any recommendations or suggestions?
Nickel boron for economy model trigger.
@@Echo_5_Charlie I don't do 223,but it will fix 99% of that platforms problems. I believe Adams was the first.
I always make sure to like the stuff I touch; charging handle, stock, pistol grip, and trigger.
I go for an ambi charging handle, a comfortable and more ergonomic stock, a smaller angle on the pistol grip (15 or 17 degree), and a lighter trigger, usually with a flat face. I also use an anti-walk pin kit with my new triggers.
Excellent video Chad! Thank you for explaining the trigger science!
Combining supplements, exercise, and firearms is a natural combination. Glad you are talking about it! I also love beta alanine along with creatine for strength training.
HUGE fan bro, if you don’t mind me asking, what wrist watch are you wearing there? The one with the green band? Thank bro and God Bless
Most people don't take enough beta alanine to see the full benefits of it in the gym. In the typical "pre workout" doses that most take, all it does it give you that itchy tingly feeling.
@@theKashConnoisseur You are right. You need at least 4g daily and a few weeks of use to get the benefits. Most supplements only give you 2g.
@@ScaredyCatTactical very true. But if you take enough beta alanine, it can be effective. Another beneficial supplement for strength and conditioning is caffeine. Lots of studies indicate that it can help with both strength training and cardio based training. But of course, probably not great to take if you work out at night. For people that care about hypertrophy over pure strength gains, L citrulline can be beneficial for increasing blood flow and making "the pump" more intense. There's some studies that show the pump can actually be beneficial in growing muscle size over time, so L cit isn't a bad thing to have in your pre workout stack either.
#1 is always the trigger!
Lol can’t tell if this is a troll or not, if it is ya wrong. Number one thing to add aside from good set of irons is a damn light and sling. Then that trigger can get some love.
@@user-mj1vb8jr6jWhat is your suggestion for number one then?
Good sights and grips
No.. #1 is putting on expensive night vision 🤪
For most people an upgraded trigger will not make them any better of a shooter.
Good video, you clearly demonstrated the differences between a good and bad trigger. Thanks Chadd.
I literally just went to the range today and ran the printable trigger drill from T Rex Arms. Noticed this exact issue, thanks for the tips. Now I know what I need to work on.
I have yet to see an aftermarket Glock trigger that didn’t make the gun unreliable. For an EDC or something you might have to bet your life on I highly recommend not modifying any of the stock Glock parts other than the sights of course
Jonny Glocks are 100%
Glock makes their own performance trigger now. No more aftermarket trigger problems.
I’m hesitant to replace my stock Glock trigger I’ve heard could be more prone to failure. Was considering a 25cent trigger job, smooth it out. Thoughts? I’m happy with the stock trigger, but have never tried a different one.
Glock just released their performance trigger. Id go with that for a glock trigger upgrade.
@@Crypto-fj5gt thanks, looked it up.. Ben Stoeger(IPSC world champ) just posted a vid about them 2 days ago saying he’s going back to stock triggers after 6 months with the performance. 🤷
Good to know. Mine is stock as well.
👍 block of instruction too ! Thank you Chadd !
Thanks for the tip Chadd, another great post.
Inflammation caused by diet or injury is the number one reason for spikes in insulin and developing fat
A diet that brings in more calories than is used during a given time period consecutively is the number one reason for fat gain, not insulin or inflammatory foods. These can cause issues in the body and are not great for a healthy lifestyle. If you eat 10x your body weight in calories, you will not get fat even if you eat pizza and Pop tarts everyday. Fat is actually easier to store than carbs because it has to go through less process in the body to be stored when in a calorie surplus. The key to health is finding your BMR, consuming that most of the time, and avoiding inflammation from processed foods. Your calorie intake will change depending on goals for body composition. A surplus of 200 to 300 a day during hypertrophy training to build muscle mass or 200 to 300 cal deficit for fat loss. Keep protein intake at .8 to 1.2 grams per lbs body weight and let the rest of your intake fall where it needs to be for your goal.
@@Dr.I.C.Spots247 this was true when I was younger and jumping out of planes and doing running and sweating everyday, but the injuries eventually caught up to me and the inflammation in my knees and back constantly triggered a response from my body and I could no longer eat like I used to and keep weight off, majority of Americans are training to be athletes and their lifestyle doesn’t require them to, and the over processed foods that Americans eat is causing inflammation and diseases like fatty liver and screwing with people’s thyroids and insulin levels which then cause obesity, could I eat 4 mres at 3,000 calories apiece when I was training or in combat with no repercussions because my body needed them? Yep, could I do it now and not turn into a blob? No way! Not disagreeing with your response, I totally agree with it, I just think for the vast majority of people living the lifestyle they do, diet should be the first thing they change🤷🏻♂️
@@Dr.I.C.Spots247the two biggest enemies to the body are refined sugar and flour. Pretty much all processed food contains those two ingredients, on top of a long list of chemicals that don’t belong in our food.
Spikes of insulin are caused by ingesting lots of carbs, which in itself doesn't cause inflammation. Unless those carbs have gluten and you have celiac disease or some similar autoimmune issue, of course. Developing fat is generally tied to caloric excess over extended periods of time, which is linked to poor dietary choices and sedentary lifestyles. Some of the longterm impacts of those poor dietary and lifestyle choices can have downstream effects that eventually result in increased inflammation, such as arthritis in your knees from being 400 lbs. But inflammation itself isn't causing insulin spikes nor obesity. And nobody gets fat because they get injured, they get fat because they stop being active once injured. People who work around their injury and stay active are able to maintain a decent level of fitness.
You also complain about not being able to eat like you used to when you're younger, and that's absolutely a thing but has nothing to do with inflammation. Our metabolisms slow as we age, and our capacity to work hard also decreases. At the same time, for men, testosterone levels fall, meaning that even if you stay the same weight you lose muscle and gain fat. But that's because you're getting old, not because you have inflammation or injuries. It would happen even if you never got hurt and ate a perfectly clean diet.
@@theKashConnoisseur Consuming excessive amounts of refined carbs, such as white bread and french fries, can cause inflammation in the body.3 Rapidly digested carbohydrates, also known as starch carbohydrates, cause blood sugar to spike and the pancreas to produce a large load of insulin.1 Traditional, unrefined carbs like whole wheat and seeds have a smaller chance of inflammation.3 Carb-rich foods in their whole state or minimally processed are packed with powerful antioxidants and bioactive compounds that can prevent free radical damage and reduce inflammation.2 Reducing carb intake does not automatically mean cutting inflammation, but getting rid of sugar and carb-rich junk food is a valuable anti-inflammatory change. However, reducing carb intake does not automatically mean cutting inflammation.
optic then trigger
Nope.
I replaced the triggers in my ARs with a light trigger pull flat trigger. I absolutely love them.
Just awesome seeing the safety skills in action
Awesome info brother! Thank you
I subscribed due to the knowledge your giving, nice work man!
3 of 7 P --- that truck really turned out great. they did a super job. good info troop . be safe. ~ JDS/CT
I saw a video the other day and he said to change the buffer. He installed a strande looking one. Thanks for your videos brother.
I thank you sir for all you are doing to help us to the next evolution! And dude I dig your turkey beard❣️
Great vid. Thanks!
I thought it was going to be training but I kind of agree on the trigger. For all of my sub-100 yard red dot ARs, I just put OK triggers in them (milspec up to RISE). For post-100 yards, I have Geissele or LaRue and it does make a huge difference.
I definitely agree my trigger upgrade was a game changer. I went with the Geissele Super Dynamic - Combat trigger.
Thanks for all the reminders chad.
I agree with you on this. Love your content man!
Those flat faced triggers are amazing. I have a Geissele 2 pound trigger installed on my AR15.
I always dry fire and rack the firearm to break in the trigger, then clean up wearing surfaces, a safe polish job that doesn’t mess with sear engagement, then shoot a lot, and then modify or replace trigger components. Most of this can be done without firing any rounds, because I know many of us are on a budget. AR15 milspec triggers can have the sear surfaces mated and pull with less pounds if you remove the lower, pull up on the hammer with a piece of paracord while engaging the trigger and pulling the trigger under the tension , only takes a few times . There’s also a grip retaining screw for the AR that has a trigger stop and helps with shorter reset, and cheap springs to lower the weight.
LOL, Agree 100%. Couple a years ago I bought a musket kit from Kibler. It had a straight, CNC milled, set trigger on it and the experience was just an amazing. Of course, not the same thing , but the principal is there. Great video.
i agree with you on the trigger!!! i was a nay sayer on changing a trigger till i shot one & now everything i own has aftermarket triggers except a Glock!! thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!!
Excellent! Thank you!
As always, great tips. I have a Colt LE6920 and have never really considered changing the trigger. Might have to look into it. Not sure I need or want a two-stage, but I've always thought a flat trigger made more sense than a curved one.
Love you watching you bro. Thanks for the tips. Keep it up frogman. We need more dudes like you in the world. You're parents should be proud. Bless
Thanks for this Chadd
Thanks for the info.
Having been a custom gunsmith for 50 years, I can tell you my personal favorite is a rock river 2 stage varmint fine tuned by me. In the 1911 I use various hammers, triggers and EGW sears and disconnectors. I like 2 stage triggers in the AR because they are so much like the 1911. You are right about the importance of the trigger, however I think it takes a backseat to functional reliability. which isn't really something you can count on out of the box these days.
Watching u out there with long sleeve shirt, brown grass showing. Man it's 17 degrees here in Massachusetts. Ice and snow on the ground. Keep the info flowing my FB brother.
I wish I had this video about 30 years ago. I had just graduated basic training where I had qualified expert with my M-16. My basic training rifle had a great trigger. But when I got to my unit, I was assigned a rifle with a completely different trigger. It required a lot more pressure. I ended up barely qualifying. When I asked about the trigger, I got a lecture on being able to adapt.'
That's a good point, though. Maybe you're out of ammo, and you need to pick up your fallen buddy's rifle to stay in the fight.
Thus far I've only changed the trigger in some of my rifles. I got a couple Romanian SAR-1 AKMs that had horrendous triggers with a mean slap on the reset. For years, I either endured it or wore gloves to pad my fingers. I finally swapped out the triggers on these rifles with replacements from ALG. Night and day difference. It's so smooth and soft now, the first time I fired it, I actually jumped from the surprise at how smooth it was. After that, it was just smiles as it was a joy to shoot. I liked it so much, I got the ALG ACT trigger for my Sig M400 Tread AR15 to improve the "mil spec" trigger it came with. It was adequate but I just wanted to improve it as I couldn't see enjoying the trigger on an AKM more than a AR15. Also, is "mil spec" in regards to triggers just code for "heavy"?
I'm really starting to favor a single stage trigger. Made a big difference in my shot consistency.
Love the content you are putting out Chadd!
#1, take that new weapon and enroll in a solid course to up your skill set.
Skill > Gear
An excellent AR trigger for the money is the LaRue MBT. I’ve installed them in both my LPVO 16” DD and my RDS 14.5” BCM.
God Bless.
Very awesome instructional explanation
I'm glad before the video ended u said "trigger system" bcuz with something like a 226 or M9 it's not necessarily the trigger but springs within the system... sear spring, hammer spring etc and it's something u have to tune to ur personal body mechanics
100% agree with replacing the trigger on your firearms. Each of my AR's have either a Geissele SSA, SSA-X, or LaRue MBT-2S trigger in them. Glocks are using Zev triggers, Sig M17/P320 has a GrayGuns trigger. It's pretty amazing how much a simple trigger swap can change the way the firearm feels..
Excellent topic my brother & agree 100% 👊
Sweet backyard set up Chadd! Nothing better than having a range in your backyard, nice.
really enjoyed you on the real AF podcast the other day!! God Bless
Finally!! Someone explains the real benefit of straight blade style trigger.
The trigger is everything. Once you shoot a great trigger feel, you know exactly why it's important.
Man knows his stuff
My squats and mountain climbers, if I can’t move my gear is useless. Love the channel. Thanks for the fresh air.
Absolutely the trigger! There are many great deals for good triggers out there. Typically I'm for 3.5 lb single stage on my AR15's. I put in Timney flat. & I'm not much for 2-stage. My precision rifle is 2.5lb. 2-stage. Light as a feather, accurate as hell...as long as I do my part. My DMR rifle is 2.5 single stage. Came that way.
Changed to a single stage CMC trigger, ambi charging handle, 4 prong flash suppressor, because I was tired of busting rust from the dust cover I went with a polymer dust cover, High lumen Streamlight, EOTech or Red dot sight with back up irons that co witness. Not big on LPVO. More vertical grip at rear. Train, Train and Train.
I run a timney Single stage drop in and love it. What a great improvement.
I found the “wedge hold” with dry fire trigger practice helped me with pistols.
Geissele SD3G Trigger is all I use . It ships with 2 Springs . I use Black Spring . Super fast and accurate trigger . It's a mix between Single and two stage trigger but is for sure Single Stage
It's by far the fastest trigger ever made . You can usually find on sale for 170ish . It's perfect for up close when speed matters but also good for banging some Steel at distance..
My number 2 is FCD AMBI Short Throw Safety. By far the best feeling safety..
I've never seen anyone use that technique at PRS GAS GUN MATCHES when it comes to taking your fingers off the gun . I have seen them move their thumb to the same side as your trigger finger to eliminate unneeded movement..
CZ 75 and 2011s rule the Competition circuits . Striker fired vs SAO theres no comparison.
My CZ has SAO Conversion with 1.8# trigger.
Good practical information and 100% correct. For the people out there with technical aptitude on a lower budget you can get a lot out of a mil-spec AR-15 trigger group, you just have to know how to do a proper trigger job on it. It's not going to be anywhere near as good as one of these $400 aftermarket triggers but you'll be shocked at how much better it can be.
For the money, I recommend Larue MBT2S triggers. I bought 4 when they were on sale for $89 a piece a few years back. I think they are about $110 now.
I too was breaking my shots low left shooting pistol. Took a class and the instructor corrected my grip. I’m a carpenter, used to gripping a hammer which caused me to naturally over grip my Glock. I rotated my hand clockwise on the grip maybe a quarter inch and it made a huge difference.
Thanks for the knowledge, brother. My next upgrade for sure
I bought a hypertouch trigger years ago and it's still my favorite
